If there are conditions such as illness or severe weather, am I still obligated to attend Sunday Mass?
All baptized Catholics are obliged to attend Mass on Sundays and Holy Days of Obligation. However, there are particular circumstances or conditions that may excuse a Catholic from this obligation. If you are ill, homebound, or if there are severe weather conditions that make attending Mass dangerous to your safety or that of others, you are excused from the obligation. In such cases, if you are unable to attend Mass, the Church recommends making a spiritual Communion and spending some time in prayer.

The Sunday Mass on television allows for those who are homebound to still spiritually participate in the Mass. The Mass airs on Sundays from 10:30-11:00 am on WDCW. To locate the channel on which the Mass airs in your area, click here.
