I have recently deployed to Iraq, and my FOB does not have a Catholic chaplain. The closest chaplain has only been here once in the last four months (unfortunately, 2 days before I arrived). I have talked with the local chaplain to see if we can get the priest here more often but he is unsure as the priest is very busy. My question is, does my sunday obligation require me travel to his location if possible, especially if doing so would hamper my mission and put myself in harms way? Also, what should the other Catholics and myself do on Sunday, should we pray individually or together. I have heard that it is possible to have all of the parts of the mass except for the Blessed Sacrament, though I don’t know who would be qualified to lead. Your guidance is greatly appreciated. Thank You and God Bless
