Easter Vigil usually begins at sunset on Easter Saturday. Every church has different mass times however, depending on the needs of its parish.

Roman Catholic AnswerNot sure what you're asking, but the last Mass is in the evening on Holy Thursday, after that there are no more Masses celebrated on Friday or Saturday until sundown when the Easter Vigil is celebrated.

What time Mass on Saturday counts in the Roman Catholic Church as a Sunday Mass?

Catholic AnswerDifferent dioceses may have different regulations on when an anticipated Sunday or Holy Day Mass may be celebrated on the day before. It must be late Afternoon or evening, a Saturday Mass celebrated with the weekday (Saturday) readings does NOT count as your Sunday obligation. The important thing is whether the actual Mass being said is the Mass of Sunday or the Holy Day: i.e., it has three readings from the Sunday, the Gloria, Creed, etc. If the Sunday Mass is being celebrated, then it fulfills your obligation. If it is another Mass, say, perhaps a Saturday Mass being celebrated in the afternoon for a wedding, then it would not count for your obligation. If you have a particular question about a particular situation, please ask the priest who will be saying the Mass.

Roman Catholic AnswerYes, if Christmas falls on a Saturday, you must attend Mass for the Holy Day, and then again on Sunday for the Sunday.

What time does a roman Catholic go to church?

We're required to go once a week and that has to be either on Sunday or on Saturday afternoon/evening. Mass is offered every day, in most places, so of course we can go more often if we want. There are also Holy Days of Obligation, too, that require us to go to mass, but they don't happen regularly. Christmas is one of these. If Christmas doesn't happen on a Sunday, we go to mass anyway.


What year did Saturday night masses start in the Catholic Church?

Sunday Masses celebrated on Saturday evening began after Vatican Council II. They were going with the old Jewish liturgical day, which begins at sunset the night before. In reality the Church has always done this, with the Holy Saturday Vigil Mass - the first Mass of Easter, although, over the centuries, it had gotten so moved up that it was being celebrated on Holy Saturday morning. This has been corrected, and the "vigil" spread to all Sundays in an effort to accommodate people who had to work on Sunday. It probably started in some Churches in the late '60's, and was widespread in the '70's.
