Roman Catholic AnswerNormally every priest would say one Mass a day, more if it is necessary. For a priest to say two Masses in a day is known as bination and is only permitted if the needs of the faithful require it or some other special need arises (for instance, a normally scheduled weekday Mass, and another later in the day for a funeral or a wedding). Bination was practically unheard of when I was younger, and I can remember my pastor having to call the local monastery to get a priest if a second Mass had to be said. These days, with the priest shortage, trination (saying three Masses in a day) may no longer require special permission from a bishop. I have know priests who have been required to say more then 3 Masses on a Sunday for the good of the faithful due to lack of priests.Many large parishes have many Masses scheduled on Sunday and Saturday evening so that all the faithful can fulfill their Sunday obligation (it being a mortal sin to miss hearing Mass on Sunday or Holy Day of Obligation).
Normally a priest would say one Mass on a weekday, and as many Masses as necessary to accompidate all the faithful on a Sat evening/Sunday.
I think the "requirement" is once on Sunday, but anything after 5pm on Saturday "counts". But then again... what the RCC tells you to do doesn't have much merit when their "command" doesn't have any scriptural basis, now does it?
Catholics are obligated to attend Mass on all holy days of obligation. The exact list depends on the country. For the universal Church, the Holy Days of Obligation are all Sundays of the year, plus:
January 1 Mary, Mother of God
January 6 Epiphany
March 19 St. Joseph
Ascension (40 days after Easter)
Holy Body and Blood of Christ (Corpus Christi) (Thursday after Trinity Sunday)
Sts. Peter & Paul June 29
Assumption August 15
All Saints November 1
Immaculate Conception December 8
Christmas December 25
For the United States.
The Solemnity of Mary
Ascension
Assumption
All Saints
Immaculate Conception
Christmas
In addition, Catholics are required to attend Mass weekly, typically on Saturday evening or Sunday.
That depends on the part of the world you live in. In the US, about 1 in 4 Catholics attend Mass regularly; in some places 1 in 3 and in others, like the Northeast, it is 1 in 6. By way of comparison, 50 years ago it was 2 in 3 average attendance.
Catholics must attend Mass every week on Sunday; there is no one Mass but all Masses once a week required to attend, plus special holy days of obligation.
Every Sunday and Holy Day of Obligation
Yes, if it is possible for them to attend mass when travelling, then they should do so. It is only if they are somewhere where there is no mass available, that they can miss mass.
There is no reason why you should not attend. Non-Catholics can attend Catholic events. Personally, I would recommend that you attend, the Mass would be the Catholic equivalent of the funeral, and the Rosary would be the equivalent of the viewing.
As catholics, we should attend Mass every Sunday, even on vacation, unless the vacation spot or location of nearby churches prohibits this.
Absolutely not. Catholics are required to attend Sunday Mass at a Roman Catholic Church. Absolutely not. Catholics are required to attend Sunday Mass at a Roman Catholic Church.
Yes, anyone may attend a Latin Mass. However, only Catholics may receive communion. However, if the Mass is being held at a Church not in union with Rome (eg: Pius X Society Churches) Catholics should not attend these Masses as the group has not yet resolved their differences with Rome.
Catholics are encouraged to attend Mass every Sunday, as it is a holy day of obligation. Some may also choose to attend Mass on weekdays as a way to deepen their faith and connect with God, but it is not mandatory.
Yes
They go to church and attend mass.
Every sunday.Another Answer:Some Catholics go for mass every day, where as it is an obligation to go to mass on the Sabbath.
By this question, I assume that you are referring to the "Old" Catholics as those who attend the Extraordinary Form of the Mass (The Latin Mass) and the "New" Catholics as those who attend the Ordinary form of the Mass (Mass in the vernacular). The difference is nil, as both are Catholics in communion with Rome and Celebrate the Liturgy of the Eucharist in different ways.The link below has a more extensive listing of the difference should you want to know more.
It should actually be Saturday and not Sunday. Saturday is the Sabbath for Jews and some Christians, but Catholics and most major Protestant sects observe Sunday as the Sabbath, but Catholics may attend Saturday evening Mass , as the Jews observe from sundown Friday to sundown Saturday, Catholics now may attend Mass from Saturday thru Sunday.
You cant get out of mass because Sunday is a holy day of obligation, which means all Catholics, who are able, must attend Mass. One may attend on weekdays according to availability and piety
