FYI, I was looking for Mass times for Ash wednesday and I just noticed that the Mass Times section for Feast Days is still for 2011, the dates do not match with this years date.
Thanks.

In looking for an Easter Sunday mass schedule, I didn’t find Easter in the list of feast days. Are Easter Sunday masses the same schedule as regular Sunday ?

Marilou,

Don't forget Sunday Mass

June 3rd, 2011

~ Taken from FMA Focus, June 2011: A quarterly newsletter of the Franciscan Mission Associates

For Catholic families, sacramental life, centered around weekly Sunday Liturgy, fuels our daily lives, year-round, including in summer.

It is Sunday Mass that nurtures us with the presence of the Lord God, in his Holy Word, and the “breaking of the bread” — the Holy Eucharist. An Easter Moment, empowering men, women and children to live with Christ, to do God’s will every day of their lives. Hence, Sunday Mass remains the most important “must do” in our lives, even when we’re on vacation.

Getting to Mass during vacation may require planning ahead: finding local parishes serving beach, mountain or city vacation destinations. Parishes or chapels in vacation areas, just as at home, may depend on the ministry of a single priest, one who celebrates at more than one site each Sunday. The Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy reminds us that Sunday Mass is an enrichment and gift in our lives, an apostolic tradition “taking its origin from teh very day of Christ’s resurrection.”

It states further: “On Sunday, the Christian faithful ought to gather together, so that by listening to the word of God and sharing in the Eucharist, they may recall the passion, death and resurrection of the Lord Jesus.” Moreover, in the Holy Mass, we together “give thanks to God” for his gift to us of a “new birth with a lively hope” born of Christ’s Resurrection.

“The Lord’s day is therefore the first and greatest festival, one to be set before the loving devotion of the faithful and impressed upon it, so that it may be also a day of joy and of freedom from work.”

If children or grandchildren complain that they “don’t get anything out of Mass,” we may want to remind them that what they bring with them to Mass will make a great difference.

To that end, some families spend a little time during the week praying with one or two of the readings for the coming Sunday. This can give the children time to ask questions and to prepare for God’s great gifts on Sunday, even while on vacation.
