In this episode of The Catholic Couple Podcast, we dive into a growing dilemma in modern Catholic family life: Should we prioritize Sunday Mass or our kids’ sports?

📅 As weekend tournaments, travel teams, and Sunday morning games become the norm, many Catholic families find themselves making tough decisions that affect more than just a schedule — they affect souls.

We explore:

Why Sunday Mass is a serious obligation (Catechism of the Catholic Church 2181)

How travel sports are subtly becoming a new religion

What Scripture says about putting God first (Exodus 20:8, Mark 8:36, Hebrews 10:25)

Why Mass is non-negotiable, even while traveling (yes, vigil Mass counts!)

How to model real Catholic discipleship to your children

Practical steps to find Mass times while on the road

The eternal impact of your family’s weekend choices

🎯 Whether you're a Catholic parent navigating a packed sports calendar or someone wrestling with cultural pressures, this conversation will challenge and encourage you to reframe what truly matters.
