Well it has been said at everyone of over 2000 masses said by over a dozen different priests I have attended in England, perhaps it is just custom in my diocese I don’t know but it is a custom of that I am certain and it clearly is a custom in the OP’s parish otherwise there wouldn’t be this post.News to me. I’m British and I never heard the Hail Mary even once at Mass in England.
Being a custom in one diocese does not make it a general practice. It has never been the norm in any country as far as I am aware but if you can provide documentation to show I’m wrong I will readily stand corrected.Well it has been said at everyone of over 2000 masses said by over a dozen different priests I have attended in England, perhaps it is just custom in my diocese I don’t know but it is a custom of that I am certain and it clearly is a custom in the OP’s parish otherwise there wouldn’t be this post.
As such that it is done is unquestionable and not what we are discussing.

My church is also in Virginia and we pray the Hail Mary… This has been an interesting discovery. Thanks for sharing.At my Church (in Virginia, USA) we say the Hail Mary every week as part of the Prayers of the Faithful. But at my mom’s Church (which is in a different Diocese) they don’t. I figure it’s an optional part of Mass.
I’m not. I thought you were! lolN one is arguing that Thistle why are you trying to pick a fight with me?
