“Attending Mass in person is important because the Eucharist is a physical sacrament that can only be fully received by being present, and because gathering together for worship is a central practice of the Church.”

¿But I have kids?

“Mass with children may be busy, noisy, or unpredictable, but all are welcome. The Church rejoices when families attend together, and every child—of every ability—has a place in our worship.”

I work on Sunday?

Yes—Mass on Saturday evening counts as Sunday Mass

In the Catholic Church, this is called the Saturday Vigil Mass. It fulfills your Sunday obligation as long as:

• It is celebrated in the evening (generally 4:00 PM or later, though the exact time is set by the local bishop).

• It uses the Sunday readings and prayers (which most vigil Masses do).
