Christmas and going to Mass

[FrDavid96]

Where pastoral need exists, additional celebrations of the Vigil Mass may take place prior to the Midnight Mass, and additional celebrations of the Mass at Dawn or Mass During the Day may be scheduled for December 25.

(Examples of need would be to provide Mass for a mission which is some distance from the parish church, or to alleviate overcrowding at the other Christmas Masses.)

Thank you.

You make a good point.

The principles you posted apply to the whole Church universally.

I know it came from the Canadian Conference, but what they say still applies everywhere.

It’s up to the diocesan bishop to make such accommodations for his diocese, and this is “supposed” to be done when he publishes the annual calendar.
