yeah, Fr. Brian made that point yesterday at mass. LOL he said EVERYONE will be at mass Thursday as it’s Ascension Thursday and a Holy Day of Obligation....he says this at daily mass, where the devotees already know this. We all laughed knowing it would be sparsely attended. It’s not as popular as Ash Wednesday, which is not an obligatory day. RME
Well they have made it confusing in recent years with allowing some HDOs to be celebrated on the Sunday before, so it’s hard to know which are STILL HDos and which have been moved.
