Remote and unable to attend Mass locally...

  • I want to share with those who are unable to attend Holy Mass on a regular basis due to distance and financial roadblocks.  I pray my Missal (1950) every Sunday and I pray the holy rosary every day.  I take advantage of the horariums of the numerous traditional Catholic orders of monks and nuns on the internet, and enfold them into my daily way of spiritual life as a layman. During the course of the year, I save, what would be my offering to my Catholic parish, if I had one (which there is none where I live), towards transportation / hotel & motel expenses to visit a Catholic Church/Chapel during Holy Week/ Easter Week in order to satisfy my Easter obligation.  Saving even a pittance each week or month will allow you to visit a traditional Catholic Church/Chapel within a 500 - 1,000 mile radius of where you live. Believe me, I’ve sacrificed and scratched and saved in order to fulfill my Easter obligation.  It can be done.  Pray and hope!  God bless!

  • According to the Chronicles of the Catholic Church in Lithuania the people of Slobodo Rashkovo used to travel by train with transfers to Kishinev in order to fulfill their Easter duties. It did not end there. When they returned there were the consequences for observing the Easter holy days.
