Juliet was originally supposed to marry Paris on a Thursday, but she submitted to her fathers will, and married him a day earlier....making it a Wednesday. She took the potion on the Tuesday night before the wedding, and was found "dead" by the Nurse. Juliet did this so she would not have to marry Paris.
Capulet agrees to let Paris marry Juliet in three days.
Thursday. "On Thursday next, at St. Peter's church the gallant county Paris shall make you a joyful bride."
The only way that Juliet can get out of the house at all is to go to church. Unless it is Sunday, the only reason to go to church is to go to confession. Therefore this is the excuse she uses, and fortunately the church is exactly where she wants to go.
A wedding. Capulet and Paris have agreed between them that Juliet will marry Paris. Mrs. Capulet happily announces that on Thursday next at St. Peter's church, Paris will make her a joyful bride. Nobody asks Juliet how she feels about all this.
The Catholic Church says Catholics should not eat meat on Ash Wednesday and all Fridays during the holy season of Lent. Thursdays (including Holy Thursday- the Thursday before Easter Sunday) are not part of the no meat rule. I'm not sure about other religions, only Catholicism.
The Roman Catholic Church is always a background presence in Romeo and Juliet. Friar Lawrence, a main character, is a priest. The church is there to marry Romeo and Juliet and to bury Juliet. Juliet uses a request to go to confession as an excuse to see Friar Lawrence. But the characters do not refer to the church or its teachings in working out their problems. The church is a part of their lifestyle, but not a guiding force in their lives.
Juliet's mother says, "early next Thursday morn . . . the County Paris, at Saint Peter's church shall happily make thee there a joyful bride." The wedding is to take place at St. Peter's church, apparently. The reception and wedding feast, on the other hand, are to take place at the bride's father's house, which is why they stay up all night madly cooking.

They want Juliet to marry some guy called Paris.
They exploded.
