There's all sorts of particular laws and norms that one looks up, as needed, such as in this case.<BR/><BR/>I inherited the present arrangement, and everything is in flux: I just became pastor of two parishes, the other pastor is staying, but due to illness is scaling back; one of our longtime retired priests is moving on, while the other is still here -- but he's 87, so we must be practical.<BR/><BR/>So, as it happens, we're changing Mass schedules and times, and planning for future changes in the expected event we have not 3 priests, but 2 or 1.<BR/><BR/>My point being, the question of communion services is going to "shake out" as part of all this; and I am mindful of the parishioners' perspective: everything is changing!Fr Martin Foxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01375628123126091747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14168956.post-1152884647720484802006-07-14T09:44:00.000-04:002006-07-14T09:44:00.000-04:00I had the impression that communion services were ...I had the impression that communion services were not allowed in your diocese where there was Mass available. In the event that I am mistaken, under what circumstances are they permissible, and how can they be on a day that a priest is available to say Mass (albeit at a different time)?David L Alexanderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13871706129906941567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14168956.post-1152881256519196672006-07-14T08:47:00.000-04:002006-07-14T08:47:00.000-04:00I dunno; maybe a fish fry.

Or maybe I would have given a dispensation (or gotten one from the archbishop). <BR/><BR/>As it is, the spaghetti sauce has no meat in it, and it's very good by itself! So if one wants to omit meat, one need only avoid the meatballs. We've been doing this pretty long, so I'll have to ask what we did, back in the day.<BR/><BR/>Actually, what happened was that the "no meat" rule was made voluntary -- i.e., we're still supposed to do <I>some</I> penance; but it doesn't have to be <I>that</I> penance.Fr Martin Foxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01375628123126091747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14168956.post-1152865881700913312006-07-14T04:31:00.000-04:002006-07-14T04:31:00.000-04:00What would have been served on Friday night before...What would have been served on Friday night before the rule about no meat on Friday was done away with?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
