Treasure Chest of Fun and Fact #13 [319]

Pat made plans with Joan to help Joan on her school project this coming weekend, but Pat cancels at the last minute because she's been invited to Laura's house for ice skating. Joan questions why she's friends with Pat. Her mom thinks she's been spending too much time with Pat and should be friendly with other girls. On Monday, Pat invites Joan over to her house and she starts saying mean things about some of the other girls. Joan surprises herself by agreeing with her. Pat invites Joan to her cottage this Sunday, but there's no church in the area. Would it be a sin for Joan to miss mass?
