Attending Sunday Mass is essential in the Catholic faith, and intentionally missing Mass is a mortal sin, which requires confession before you can receive communion again.

However, did you know that if you have a serious and legitimate reason for being unable to attend Mass, you can request a dispensation from your priest?

Today, Fr. Mike explains that while missing Mass and requesting a dispensation should not become a regular occurrence, it is possible under certain valid circumstances.
