Some Activities Of The Catholic Church
In the Catholic life, Sunday is much more than just the day of obligatory Mass attendance. Sunday is the high point of the week. It is the holiest day of the week and a day characterized not by servile work, errands, or temporal concerns. Sunday is a day dedicated to the Lord and to Him alone. As such, Sunday has always occupied a special place in the minds and actions of Catholics.
