I hate when churches don't either plan several extra masses or create extra overflow space at Easter and Christmas. THis past Christmas Eve, I got my my family of 5 ready and out the door to the Childrens Mass half an hour early, and still there was no room because it was filled with grownups with no kids. We LEFT because our tots can't stand through Christmas Eve Mass. And this is the Church that wants us to have lots of kids?! It’s not like they don’t KNOW they will be packed!

When we lived in NC, my girls thought it was kinda cool that Coach K, the Duke Basketball coach, family was regularly later than us even, so we shared the lobby because really, truly, not one more body could be wedged into the church itself. The Ushers stood at the door, not for the purpose of blocking it, just they'd been pretty much forced out. They would not let us sit on the steps up to the choir because it was against fire code, so we had to stand through the whole mass. church or no, the building is still only permitted to have such & such number of people in it per fire code.

I suggest we make it our quest! Hugs on having to make it through the holiday without family around - and kudos to you on still making the day special for your girls. You rock!

Stuff like that is the reason I left. What a jerk. I can’t believe people still do this in the Catholic Church. Stuff like that is the reason I left.

Growing up we always had extended family around for holidays, graduations, baby showers, weddings, etc. I miss that for my children.
