Missing Mass on Sundays and Holy Days is still a mortal sin, but many Catholics are either unaware of it or don’t care. When we go on vacation, we always look up where the nearest Catholic Church is so we won’t miss Mass. We’ve never missed Mass yet when we were out of town, and I’m 64 years old.

Thanks, FRiends, for the answer. I though that it was the case. Apparently the consequences of sin don’t motivate like they used to.

Why does the Catholic Church believe missing Sunday Mass is a mortal sin?

I ask this with great respect, as I can not recall where this is in the Bible?

Thanks.
