I don't want to name names. But my friend from Church almost never comes to Mass because his employer makes him work on Sundays even though he was told upon hiring that he would not be working on Sundays. They seem to do it in a vindictive way. And the company is supposed to be Catholic. He says he needs the job. I love him but I almost never get to see him. I am trying to meet him outside of Church so we can be better friends.

Please try to convince him to refuse to work Sundays. His soul's in danger. I'll pray that his employer lets him take Sundays off.

When my employer required me to work on Sunday, I made it my business to go to mass anyway. I scoured all of the local Catholic churches. Who had the earliest mass. Who had the latest mass. One way or another I made it to mass on Sunday.

If so, the people in the company practicing that policy are committing grave sin. It's a mortal sin for a Catholic to force employees to work on Sunday. If those doing the forcing are also working on Sunday, they're just multiplying the sin and will be answering for that at their Particular Judgments.

There are some situations that require service 24 hours a day 7 days a week. I non emergency situations I would suggest that they are still required to assist at mass on Sundays and holy days of obligation.
