Thanks for the feedback. Yes, I am RC and am aware that I can get a dispensation for missing mass, but as mentioned above, that don't seem the right way to address the problem. I am a staffer and am concerned about the participants. Because of the shortage of priests it is nigh on impossible to get one to come and say mass. When I am a Course Director, I specifically mention at the participant meetings to let me know of any religious requirements, and then make a special arrangement.
Thanks again for your help and ideas.
