When you say mass is up to you. As long as you say your mass prayers, that's all that matters. The church is flexible with mass.
Prayers are said at Mass to offer worship, thanksgiving, petition, and praise to God. They help to unite the community in faith, express shared beliefs, and seek spiritual guidance and strength. The prayers also serve to reflect on the teachings of the Church and convey intentions for the Church and the world.
The Roman Catholic Missal is a book that contains all the prayers that are said during a Catholic Mass. The book may contain prayers and instructions for saying them during regular weekly Sunday Mass or for weekday Mass and Holiday Mass.

a mass where prayers are sung
Intercessory prayers occur after the Creed and before the Offertory.
A Catholic Mass card is telling the recipient that a certain prayer or prayers are being said at a specific time and place for their loved one. Mass cards are usually given in lieu of flowers at funerals. To get a Mass card you usually give the church a donation. I guess if someone was ill or just going through difficult times a Mass card could be given also; after all prayers are not only for the deceased.
The Sacramentary
Communal
First, the term "mass" is not a Jewish term and may cause some offense to Jews. Please substitute the word "service". At a Jewish prayer service, most of the prayers are in Hebrew, and many of them are sung. In fact, in a typical Orthodox service, only the sermon and the prayer over the country are in English (or the language of the country). Non-Orthodox services may include English poetic readings and some singing in English.
All of the usual prayers, plus the special prayers added on all holidays. But the prayers for rain are central to Sukkot.
Currently, the Roman Missal is the book that contains the prayers said at Mass and during other liturgies. The Lectionary is the book that contains the Bible readings for each Mass in the United States. It was the Missal up until Pope Paul VI issued the Sacramentary. It was known as the Sacramentary from after Vatican Council II until 2012.
