The Precepts of the Church

• “You shall attend Mass on Sundays and on holy days of obligation and rest from servile labor.”• “You shall confess your sins at least once a year.”• “You shall receive the sacrament of the Eucharist

at least during the Easter season.”• “You shall observe the days of fasting and

abstinence established by the Church.”• “You shall help to provide for the needs of the

Church.”

Table Reflection

• If we expect others to fulfill their obligation to worship the Lord on Sundays and holy days of obligations, are we creating and environment and experience in which people feel welcomed?

• What obstacles might discourage visitors and seekers from attending Mass at your parish? How can these obstacles be overcome?
