Late for mass

[lowfox14]

Hi guys,

I think I saw a thread about this, and I searched for it, but couldn’t find anything.

Anyway, does anyone know how late is too late when going to mass, meaning that they haven’t fulfilled their Sunday obligation? I heard that if you come just before the readings start, it’s okay? Can anyone clarify this?

Any help appreciated!

I think that if you miss the reading of the Gospel it is considered too late.

Here is a link to an Ask An Apologist thread from 2004 on that topic.
