SEATING for Sacramental Masses

Because we are still in typhoon recovery with limited power and water for many Families and the Church, we recommend Parents, Godparents, and Confirmation Students attend for June 20, 2024 Tuesday and we recommend Parents and First Holy Communion Students attend for June 24, 2024 Saturday.

Depending on power and water restoration, the Sacrament of Confirmation and First Holy Communion will be held at this time in the OLL Social Hall. This limits the amount of persons per available pews / chairs. Other Family Members who do attend will be seated AFTER the Parents, Godparents, and Confirmation Students / Parents and First Holy Communion Students.

From Code of Canon Law

Can. 1246 §1. Sunday, on which by apostolic tradition the paschal mystery is celebrated, must be observed in the universal Church as the primordial holy day of obligation. The following days must also be observed: the Nativity of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Epiphany, the Ascension, the Body and Blood of Christ, Holy Mary the Mother of God, her Immaculate Conception, her Assumption, Saint Joseph, Saint Peter and Saint Paul the Apostles, and All Saints.

§2. With the prior approval of the Apostolic See, however, the conference of bishops can suppress some of the holy days of obligation or transfer them to a Sunday.

Can. 1247 On Sundays and other holy days of obligation, the faithful are obliged to participate in the Mass.

Moreover, they are to abstain from those works and affairs which hinder the worship to be rendered to God, the joy proper to the Lord’s day, or the suitable relaxation of mind and body.
