Does a wedding Mass on Saturday afternoon count as a Sunday mass?

If you attend a wedding Mass or a sacramental Mass on Saturday, it DOES NOT fulfill the Sunday Mass obligation. To fulfill a Sunday or Holy Day obligation, a Mass on the previous day (the Vigil) must start at 4 pm or later and use the appropriate readings for that Sunday or Holy Day. Some Dioceses will allow variations (for example, different readings at a Sunday Confirmation Mass).


Can public funds be appropriated for religious purposes?

No, public funds cannot be appropriated for religious purposes in order to maintain the separation of church and state as outlined in the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. This principle aims to prevent the government from endorsing or promoting specific religions.


How many times do you make the sign of the cross in mass?

The sign of the cross is made multiple times during a Catholic mass. It is typically done at the beginning and end of the mass, before and after the Gospel reading, at the beginning and end of the Prayers of the Faithful, and during the blessing at the end of the mass.


What is a vigilant mass?

A vigil mass is a mass said on the day before a major feast day. Vigil masses are "waiting" masses, meaning that the approaching feast day is of such import that the Church desires the faithful to take a day to prepare themselves to celebrate it fully, with true hearts and clear dispositions. A vigil mass day is therefore usually a day of fast and/or abstinence and the mass itself has propers - specific prayers - that call the soul to purify itself in preparation of the feast tomorrow. In the old times, Vigils were there because the Sabbath started from sundown on the (now called sixth day) and ended at sundown on the seventh day.


The Mass is an example of what prayer?

The Mass contains different kinds of prayer throughout the ceremony. The mass includes communal prayer, praise, supplication, and (possibly, depending on the person) contemplative prayer. During the Mass, there is glorification, supplication, absolution, and other themes. The best way to answer your question would be to break the Mass down into its components and consider each component individually.
