Yes, definitely
Roman Catholic AnswerDepends entirely on the parish, the priest, and the local custom. Historically, priests have celebrated Mass every day, even without a congregation. Parish priests try to make provisions for those who wish to attend daily Mass so that they are provided for. Daily Mass were usually in the mornings, although now, they have Masses at noon, and in the evening, since the "from midnight" fast has been suspended, and evening Masses allowed.
Hymns are not technically part of the Mass. The Roman Missal provides an entrance antiphon: an introit, a verse at the Offertory, and one at Holy Communion. Those are the only things which are supposed to be said. In the list of options, if those are not sung or said, way down, like the fourth choice would be a hymn. Hymns are normally only sung at the Office, not at the Mass, Catholic Mass has never provided for hymns, they are a protestant invention.
The Pope has allowed priests to celebrate three Masses on Christmas Day, the first Mass is at midnight, then one at dawn, and one during the day. The Mass at midnight is the very first Mass of Christmas.
The lay (non-ordained) minister who leads the hymns and the responsorial psalms is called the cantor.
Before the advent of Vatican II and the musical changes which were allowed thanks to the legislation and documents therein the music of the church was Gregorian chant, Polyphonic Chant, and Hymns. Settings of the mass (i.e. Introit, kyrie, credo, communion...) were generally speaking Gregorian chant (which while it bears the name of Pope St. Gregory the Great, was not neccisarily written by him) which was written mainly by individuals whos names we do not know in the early middle ages. Some masses in particularly well to do parishes with great choirs would sing polyphonic mass settings which were written by individuals such as Victoria, Lobo, Cardoso, Talis, Orlando, and (most famously) Palestrina. These were composed in the florid polyphonic style of the Rennaissance. After the rennaissance, and due to the decrees in the Council of Trent, the development of new music for actual use in mass stopped. There were many composers who write settings for the mass. The one thing which was allowed to continue was the writing of organ music, and as a result we have many masses written by great composers (Beethoven, Bach, and some other B names). Hymns were the only form of music allowed at mass which were in the common tongue of the people (As opposed to latin). These hymns could be composed by almost anyone, however generally speaking had to have been printed and given ecclesiastical approval. If you are interested in hymns, as opposed to mass settings, then consulting any of the older hymnbooks and looking for any hymns composed before the 1960's. This is the kind of music which would have most likely been used as the hymns at masses.
No, only priests and bishops can celebrate the Mass
Generally, priests face the congregation during Mass except in those parishes that still observe the Latin Tridentine Mass where the priest faces the tabernacle and has his back to the people.
The sacristy.
In 2013 there were 12,350 religious priests (in other words priests in religious orders as opposed to diocesan priests), all of whom may offer Mass, and there were 4,407 brothers in religious orders; for a total of 16,757 men in religious orders.
Mass killing was not allowed in Belgium and other Eastern Europe countries.
