Sorry for my bad English.
I have a doubt that do people are being responsible for the sin of ancestors like avoiding sunday mass? If it is so, can we attend mass for them? My grandfather didn’t go to church for 41 years, recently a counselor who is a nun told me that he is in purgatory for this sin.
Please respond
 
No, we cannot attend Mass on behalf of another person. There is no Mass attendance by proxy.

However, we *can *pray for them and offer up penance on their behalf…
