Obligation to Assist at Mass in Serious Weather Conditions

While Mass may still be celebrated, severe weather conditions may abrogate a person's obligation to assist at Mass on Sunday. If it is too dangerous to venture outside for Mass, you may be excused in good conscience and without guilt. Use good judgement, exercise caution and prudence when making the decision to travel. The decision not to assist at Mass under these circumstances is not a matter for sacramental confession.
