Sunday Work Dilema

[JPM]

Hi All,

I have been sent on a business trip to Europe for a project (website development) and the project leader wants me to work on a Sunday (I am not sure if it is a full day or part of a day). We are to submit this project to compete against other companies for a contract. I am not 100% sure that it is absolutely necessary to work on the Sunday though it would certainly help our position if we do.

I am usually careful not to do anything uncessary on Sundays, but I am not sure what the right thing to do is in this situation.

Any wisdom would be appreciated.

God Bless.

This section of the Catechism might help:

Are you attending Mass that day? If not, I think you can get a dispensation from your priest to attend on a different day. You might want to talk to your local priest about the situation or try the EWTN message board.

Hello,
you appear to be most conscientious about keeping Our Lord’s Day Holy.
Enjoy Europe.
