Sitting during the sermon?

Post by Justice »

For a TOC that has pews, is it ok to sit when the Priest is giving a sermon?

Apparently, yes. Some TOC parishes have only a few chairs lined up against the walls for the sick and the elderly. I have seen children and teenagers sit on the floor next to their mom or dad.

Lord Jesus Christ, have mercy on me a sinner.
