Best Answer

Pretty much all of the services given today were given during the Middle Ages.

Services include the sacraments: baptism, mass, confirmation, unction (though not usually in the church building), confession, marriage, and holy orders. One big difference was that in the Middle Ages, marriages did not always involve the Church, and was a private matter between two people.

There were services performed at regular hours in many churches, such as the Liturgy of Hours, though these were really mostly said in monasteries. There were special services, including funerals, and regularly held annual services such as Stations of the Cross, done during Lent and especially on Good Friday.

The services were not limited to these, and a service could be made up for any particular occasion. For example a priest with a particular interest in healing would be permitted to have a special weekly service to pray for the sick, and the service would be conducted as he wished as long as it was within bounds of orthodoxy.
