Boost Mass attendance, cardinal asks Catholic schools June 02, 2005
Cardinal George Pell of Sydney has asked Catholic schools to remind their students about the obligation to attend Sunday Mass.
Speaking to Australian parochial-school administrators, the cardinal said that the schools should "prepare children for this world and the next," the Catholic Weekly reported. He questioned how often children who attend parochial schools are reminded that "if you are a follower of Christ then there is an obligation to worship regularly."
Cardinal Pell gave his full support to the Catholic school system, and expressed misgivings that some Catholic families are unable to send their children to the parochial schools. "We should all work to maintain the tribe," he said. "I am a great believer in tribalism." __
