The faithful are reminded that for a just cause the pastor can dispense in individual cases the faithful of the parish and anyone actually present in the parish from the obligation to attend Mass or may commute the obligation to some other pious work (canon 1245). The faithful should also remember that all who are incapable of attending Mass are excused from the obligation, as we can never be required to do the impossible.
