The decision by the Ohio bishops to move the celebration of the Ascension is not unprecedented. To continue to make a difference in 2023, Roman Catholic Church of Ascension is reaching out to our parishioners. "The bishops downgrade the importance of a thing by taking away its uniqueness." "It's not harder, it's just that it's too much trouble for some people," said McGoron. McGoron, of Sayler Park, Ohio, said people make time for what's important to them. The feast of the Ascension is considered a holy day of obligation for Catholics, meaning they are expected to attend Mass that day.Ĭatholics are finding it more difficult to fulfill that obligation today because work schedules are more complex, Andriacco said.īut critics of the change say it's a concession to spiritual indifference among Catholics.
