The Bible is used in Mass during the Liturgy of the Word. An Old Testament reading, some psalms, a New Testament reading and a Gospel reading all come from the Bible at this point of the mass. At other points in the mass there are references that come from the Bible, like at the consecration and some prayers.

None: the Mass is not in the Bible as it is a Roman Catholic invention that is not Biblical. (For more information see go to the questions below).
It is the source of the the Readings and the Gospel at every Mass, and is the inspiration for the responsorial psalms.It is the basis of the Catholic faith and as such influences all their services.Basically, the entire Mass is from the Bible, in one way or another, as well as the entire Divine Office. Nothing in the Catholic faith can in anyway contradict the Bible, it is one of the two sources (along with Sacred Tradition) of the Catholic faith. Further, the Bible is used for personal reading and reflection, as shown in the practice of Lectio Divina and the Breviary.Please note that the Catholic Church is NOT Bible based, the Catholic Church wrote the Bible, decided which books would be in the New Testament, and preserved the Bible for all these centuries: the Church is not based on the Bible, the Bible is based on the Church.
The Lectionary contains all the readings for Mass, for the two year cycle for daily readings, and the three year cycle for Sunday readings.
Roman Catholic AnswerThe entire Mass from the introductory greeting to the dismissal is taken from the Bible. In addition to the fixed parts of the Mass - entirely taken from the Bible, the first half of the Mass, the Liturgy of the Word, is based on the Jewish service and is built around three lengthy readings from the Bible, with a Psalm between the first two - usually the Old Testament, and the New Testament (other than the Gospels), followed by a Gospel reading. The readings for Sunday Mass are on a three year cycle and the readings for weekday Mass on are a two year cycle. At the end of the cycle you will have read nearly the entire Bible, certainly from every book in the Bible.
I'm not really sure which one is the biggest book. You can get a bible and stick equally sized bookmarks or dividers and measure it for your own leisure. I see Genesis, Exodus, Deuteronomy, Psalms, the Gospels, and Acts used a lot during mass.
The word Bible is not found in any sequence of the small font, nor in the sequence of the caps. And there are many mentions of the Holy Word, and the Holy Scriptures. Scriptures is used 21 times in the New Testament. The word is used thousands of times. The word "Bible" is not in the Bible. The word "Bible" was not being used yet at the time the Bible was being written. The word "scripture" or "scriptures" was used instead.
If the question is referring to when the bible was first mass printed using a printing press, then the answer to that is that the bible was the first book ever printed using a printing press in 1455AD by Joannes Gutenberg. If the question is referring to when the bible was first officially canonized and produced by scribes then the answer to that is that the bible was first canonized at the First Council of Nicaea in 325AD.
