If the parents are not now committed to weekly Mass attendence, the children will end up "deprived" shortly after their big ceremony.

Hmmm, that is one possible assumption, I agree. However, my parents did not attend Church regularly. I stayed with my religion, and my sister teaches it for a very large Diocese in Pennsylvania. She graduated from a Catholic college and holds a Master's in theology. Because of our church we had the opportunity to learn the faith and siezed it. In later years, my parents became more religious and we praised God for their return. Perhaps the example can be learned from the children sometimes, too.
