Thank you.

  { Is it allowable to have a Mass in someone's home? }

Fr. Jonathan replied:

Hi Guy,

Thanks for the question.

Yes!

Here is the relevant Canon. No Bishop permission necessary.

932. §1. The eucharistic celebration is to be carried out in a sacred place unless in a particular case necessity requires otherwise; in such a case the celebration must be done in a decent place.

§2. The eucharistic sacrifice must be carried out on a dedicated or blessed altar; outside a sacred place a suitable table can be used, always with a cloth and a corporal.

Fr Jonathan

Guy replied:

Fr. Jonathan,

Thank you very much for your reply.

Have a blessed day,

Guy
