Sunday Mass or Kid's Sports: Choose Wisely


Listen Later

In this episode of The Catholic Couple Podcast, we dive into a growing dilemma in modern Catholic family life: Should we prioritize Sunday Mass or our kids’ sports?

📅 As weekend tournaments, travel teams, and Sunday morning games become the norm, many Catholic families find themselves making tough decisions that affect more than just a schedule — they affect souls.

We explore:

  • Why Sunday Mass is a serious obligation (Catechism of the Catholic Church 2181)
  • How travel sports are subtly becoming a new religion
  • What Scripture says about putting God first (Exodus 20:8, Mark 8:36, Hebrews 10:25)
  • Why Mass is non-negotiable, even while traveling (yes, vigil Mass counts!)
  • How to model real Catholic discipleship to your children
  • Practical steps to find Mass times while on the road
  • The eternal impact of your family’s weekend choices

🎯 Whether you're a Catholic parent navigating a packed sports calendar or someone wrestling with cultural pressures, this conversation will challenge and encourage you to reframe what truly matters.

🗣️ Let’s talk about it: Have you ever chosen sports over Sunday Mass? What did you learn from that experience? Drop a comment and let’s build each other up as Catholic families!
