Why Is Sunday Mass an Obligation for Catholics?

Why does the Catholic Church require Sunday Mass attendance?

Fr. Gregory Pine and Fr. Patrick Briscoe explain why the Sunday obligation is not simply a rule or burden, but a commitment that orders our freedom toward God. They discuss why Catholics should approach Mass as a question of when and not if.

During the discussion, they unpack why even an imperfect experience of Mass is spiritually valuable, and how Sunday worship provides stability, community, and a foundation for the week ahead.
