Until now it is "common sense":
The Priest is ordained
to serve the Christian Community.
The Cty and the Priest together are the indispensable factors of the Cty-Eucharist.
Therefore it is the duty of the Priest to be at disposal for Sunday-Cty-Eucharist.
This is to keep as task Number 1 (priority).
Christian-Cty-Animation + Eucharist-Celebration (and at disposal for Confession)
is the reason for ordination.
To build up Priest-Fraternity is important - but there are many other chances (esp. if the Bishop knows this aim). If a Bishop decides to ordain a Priest on a Sunday he excludes
all Cty-Priests from participation. If a Cty-Priest goes on Sunday to a Priest-ordination and hinder the Cty-Eucharist - it's a sign of Clericalism (contempt strongly by Pope Francis).
It is sure the Cty has a good antenna to feel how much the Priest values the Cty-Eucharist. As more as the Priest is engaged in the Cty-Eucharist-Celebration as more the Believers
like to attend. If there is a decline in Mass-Attendance we discover as reasons mostly:
a) the value of the Cty-Eucharist is not yet recognised / why ?
b) the Church-Language is not understood / a famous fact in 2018
c) the lay-people are not good integrated into the celebration / passivity
The Sec. Vatic. Council expressed the conviction of the Church: The Cty-Eucharist is
a high event / a peak in the real Christian-life-performance.
What is wrong with Jesus? (Mk 3.20...).
His priority is to be engaged with the Cty... not with the family, not with the festive meals.
He proclaims: my brothers and sisters are the ones doing the will of God, not the one's who are ordained as my family. The ordained family accuses Jesus to be out of mind / crazy
and Jerusalem explains: This is a sign of possessed by an unclean spirit. Pls cancel him.
