Cardinal Dolan: ‘For God’s Sake, Get Back to Sunday Mass!’ 7 Apr 2021 New York Cardinal Timothy Dolan has issued an urgent appeal to Catholics to get back into the habit of going to Sunday Mass. Are we “going to restaurants?” Cardinal Dolan asks in an essay Wednesday in Catholic New York. “To the kids’ soccer and little league games? To the store? To the beauty parlor? To gatherings with family and friends?” “Well, then, it’s time to get back to Mass,” he concludes. Reminding Christians of the commandment to “keep holy the Lord’s Day,” the cardinal notes that the temporary exemption from Sunday worship due to the “emergency health crisis” was never meant to be permanent and the time has come to return to Mass.
