True, but a lot depends on how ambulatory the older person is. We have a bus that brings elderly folks from a local facility for the elderly for the 11am Mass every week, and some of those folks are in wheelchairs.
In this case, the concerned woman did attend Mass at least once a month at the facility, and received Communion every week, at a Communion service, which is perfectly legitimate!
If you give someone a ride, do you have to sit next to them at church? What’s the commitment here?
What if they want to walk out right after communion? I don’t want to give them the keys or let them sit in the car without me.
I think people should stay for the last song. :)
