It seems like fewer and fewer people are going to Mass. I was just curious how often most people go.

I personally wasn’t too good about going when I was younger. But then after I was Confirmed, everything changed and I’ve gone nearly every week since.
 
I go once a week but occasionally I will fit in a weekday Mass as well in the morning before work.
 
I am fortunate to be able to go to Mass daily, as I am retired. It is the high point of my day.
 
I go every Sunday, and try to get a Daily Mass in at least once or twice a week a week, as my schedule allows.
 
I go with my family on Saturdays. I attend daily Mass and have recently started going to the Sunday evening Mass as well.
 
Mass is only offered twice a week in my parish. I always go on Sundays, and try and make an effort to go midweek when I get the chance.

I used to go more frequently (daily, or at least multiple times per week) in the past— while in high school, and then later when my workplace was across the street from our local cathedral and services coincided with my lunch hour.
 
I voted for once a week even though I usually go a couple of times a week. There wasn’t an option for that though. My local parish doesn’t have Mass every day or I would go every day.
 
I would like to have seen an option for more than once a week but not everyday. My wife and I go every Sunday but I often fit in another one during the week when it works into the schedule.

I agree. I would go every day but I can’t afford the gas as I would have to drive about 20 miles out of town to go to a daily Mass.
 
Greetings Angela77,

I cannot vote in the poll for some reason. So I shall tell you my answer within this post. I go everyday.

God bless.

I go twice a week, both on Sundays. One OF the other EF. I visit the Blessed Sacrament daily, though. However, that’ll be harder since I’m no longer attending the Catholic school that I used to be attending. I just voted once a week since that seemed the closest.

I generally go three times a week:

On Wednesday evenings, my schola and I will be singing at Mass starting September 7, and a Perpetual Novena to St. Jude Thaddeus has been going on after that Mass for decades.

On Saturday mornings, I attend a Marian Cenacle of Prayer followed by Mass.

Every other Saturday, I am an altar server at the evening Mass.

On Sundays when I don’t serve on Saturday, I usually go to a different parish, so I don’t become complacent.
 
I’m not able to go to Mass that often since religious buildings are a trigger for my psychosis 😦

That would have been my option as well. Too bad the poll didn’t have that option, the results would be more accurate I would think.
 
While I put down just once a week, I have just started to try and go to mass on the weekdays. It took me awhile to get going. DH has been going to daily mass for years, but I am a slow learner.
 
I didn’t see a choice in the poll that fits my situation. I try to go every Sunday but it usually works out to about three times each month. My work schedule and a few recent health issues have thrown me off my schedule. Having a one-year-old and a pregnant wife has complicated things as well. I believe my parish priest thinks it’s actually even less frequently than this lately, mainly because we had a lot of unexpected trips and family obligations over the summer, so the majority of the Masses we went to over the last 3-4 months were at other parishes or out of town.

Ditto! The absolute high point of my day!!

I remember when I was a young teen, I said to my mother “You mean I have to go to Mass every Sunday for the rest of my life, or I’ll go to hell?!!” I thought it was utterly boring, but always wished I could enjoy it. It’s amazing how our Good Lord answers our prayers when we pray for the right things. Not only do I enjoy it, but I die a little inside if I miss daily Mass!
