SUNDAY WORSHIP POLICY
The
Pittsford-Mendon Catholic Communities composed of St Louis Church,
Transfiguration, and Saint Catherine’s Church in Mendon have adopted the
following Sunday Worship Policy. We
ask for your support in implementing this policy.
THE
PARISHIONERS OF PITTSFORD AND MENDON CATHOLIC CHURCHES RECOGNIZE THE
INCREASING TIME DEMANDS FACING ALL FAMILIES.
WE BELIEVE THAT THE AVAILABILITY OF SO MANY DIFFERENT PROGRAMS FOR
OUR YOUTH PRESENTS AT ONE AND THE SAME TIME A BLESSING AND A PARTICULAR
PROBLEM FOR FAMILIES WHO WISH TO WORSHIP TOGETHER.
ON BEHALF OF
OUR OVER 4,000 PARISHIONER FAMILIES, WE CALL UPON ALL COMMUNITY
ORGANIZATIONS, INCLUDING SCHOOLS, SPORTS TEAMS AND TOWN AND VILLAGE
RECREATIONAL PROGRAMS, TO REFRAIN FROM SCHEDULING ANY EVENTS, GAMES,
PRACTICES, REHEARSALS OR OTHER ACTIVITIES PRIOR TO 1:00 P.M. ON SUNDAY.
WE ALSO ASK
THAT NO YOUTH BE DISADVANTAGED IN ANY WAY BECAUSE HE OR SHE CANNOT ATTEND
A PRACTICE OR EVENT BECAUSE OF A CONFLICT WITH THE RELIGIOUS ACTIVITIES AT
WHATEVER TIME.
FINALLY, WE
REQUEST THAT COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS PUBLICIZE THIS POLICY AND THEIR
SUPPORT OF IT WITHIN THE LARGER ORGANIZATIONS THAT IMPACT THE SCHEDULING
AND COORDINATION OF EVENTS IN WHICH THEY PARTICIPATE.
For further
information, contact any of the Pastors, or PMCC Coordinator
Peter
Spinelli or call 955-4047.
