CL|My name is Francis X lesage. I was showing Cindy Lou what the BBS is all
  |about. We have a traditional Catholic Church on our property here called
  |Our Lady Of The Blessed Sacrament. We were under the Society until my
  |father wrote to the Pope. Miraculously, the Pope recieved it and told the
  |Bishop of our area (Bishop Walch), to care for us in all things
  |traditional. We were recieving Mass on Sundays but they have changed it to
  |Saturdays. I am wondering if Saturday Masses are traditionally legal in
  |the fulfulment of our sunday obligations??  Thank You...



Dear Friends,

Under present Church law, the obligation of Sunday Mass is fulfilled
by offering Saturday afternoon Mass.  The Mass on Saturday afternoon
must not begin EARLIER than 4:00 P.M.

                                Sincerely in Christ,


                                        Father Mateo
