Regarding Mass obligations and caring for handicapped relative?

[Ginna]

The Catechism states in #2187 that every Christian should avoid making unnecessary demands on others that would hinder them from observing the Lord’s Day. If I was to place my handicapped daughter in respite care on a Sunday evening, w/ the intention of leaving her there for 24 hours, am I violating this commandment? Thanks, Ginna
