Hi, Michael —
Your mother's always welcome to come to church and to attend Mass, even though
she apparently can't receive the sacrament of Holy Communion at the present
time.
You'd be surprised at how many Catholics are in the same position.
Your mom is still a member of the Catholic community and is welcome to
participate as much as possible. If there's any question about what activities
she should participate in, she should talk to her pastor.
He can
give her some guidance about any possible limitations.
If she ever has a desire to fully regularize her situation with the Church,
she can ask her pastor about the possibility of seeking an annulment of
her original marriage and any other necessary steps.
God bless your efforts to spread the peace of Christ to souls!
— Richard C.
