ktgrok Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 Don't suppose being slightly hung over from hard apple cider and too much sugar is a valid reason to get out of a Holy Day of Obligation, huh? :huh: Not me, of course. I'm way too responsible for that......it's um..my friend. My friend who has lost her alcohol tolerance and after 1 and 1/2 bottles of hard cider and a few sips of cinnamon whiskey, not to mention a cupcake and a piece of candy, isn't feeling quite up to par. (I'm not truly asking..I'll suck it up and go. Just need one more cup of coffee in me first, lol.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustEm Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 Sorry that is not a valid reason. Enjoy the Mass even more for me, after more coffee of course. I can't go because I have a feverish child. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnnE-girl Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 Does your church have a “hangover mass� That’s what we called the very late Sunday mass in college. It was much easier to go to 7:00 pm mass than 10:00am after staying out until bar close Saturday night. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carriede Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 Most parishes have a valid evening Mass for Holy Days like this, because most people can't take off work (or would choose not to). Hope you feel better soon. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 Our Church only has one Mass tonight and it is in Spanish. Not very handy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scholastica Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 Not a valid reason. It seems we are spoiled. We have 6:30 a.m. 8 a.m. Noon and 7 p.m. On holy days. We often have a 7 p.m. Vigil Mass for most, but not All Saints. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Violet Crown Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 Our church has only one Mass tonight and it is in Latin. :) Or as I like to say, linguistically unprivileged. Omnes Sancti et Sanctae Dei, orate pro nobis! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teachermom2834 Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 We have mass tonight with kids dressed up as saints- followed by an All Saints party. Pretty sure the avalanche of candy will continue. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ktgrok Posted November 1, 2017 Author Share Posted November 1, 2017 We went! There is a 7 PM mass tonight but I think the kids have faith formation when? I need to double check the calendar. I'm not sure if it's canceled for all Saints Day or not. Plus by then I'll be even more tired. This was the noon mass, so it isn't like I had to get up early for it. I'm just lazy. But we went. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brehon Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 Yes. Should be beautiful! I bet it will be!! We’ll be at the 5:30. I really do love the EF Mass - so beautiful on so many levels. I get to indulge my Traddy side tomorrow night. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Violet Crown Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 (edited) Frankly if there's a valid reason to miss Mass this evening, it's got to be Game 7. Let's Go, Astros!

MotherGoose Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 I thought having to take the eleven year old for an unexpected tooth extraction might be the straw pushed tnis tired. Recovering from illness mama over the edge with a two year old in tow. However, she perked up, and seemed to feel fine, and the baby took a nice three hour nap so he was happy. The Lord wanted us.

dirty ethel rackham Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 Most parishes have a valid evening Mass for Holy Days like this, because most people can't take off work (or would choose not to). Hope you feel better soon. :) Our parish decided to do an evening vigil ON HALLOWEEN. The only masses they have the day of are 8:30 and noon. Which means that most people who work or go to a non-Catholic school would have to skip the fun on Halloween. I'm disliking this pastor less and less. (There are many WAY more important issues than this.) Unfortunately we are stuck with him for another 10 years (or 4 if he decides not to stay for 2 terms.) Anyway, dh went last night. I stayed home to help dd with college apps and I couldn't make it to any of our local masses due to doctors appointments. Hope I'll be forgiven.
