Do you all prefer going to mass in the morning or in the evening? And does it matter the time of the day? Let me know what you all think below.
 
I like to go in the morning so I can start my day off with mass. Having mass be my first action of the day just colors the rest of it.
 
I like weekday mornings but I generally prefer (but not always) Saturday vigil to Sunday morning. I like to confess before the Saturday vigil and then sit in pew and say my penance prayers and be in the presence of the Lord until Mass starts. Also the vigil seems less crowded and more quiet before and during Mass.

Morning is my preference but I do go to low mass in the evening some weekdays as that is when it is offered
 
Morning is better imo so that the day can properly start with Him.
 
On the other hand, evening Mass can be an opportunity to offer the fruits and trials of the day to God. To “unload,” if you will.

That said, I also prefer to begin my day with Mass, though in the grand scheme of things I will take a Mass anytime I can get one.
 
8am is the earliest Mass at my parish so that’s what I go to. If they switched to 7am or even 6am I’d be happy too. I am always up by 5am, today 4am… I have the sleep schedule of someone much older, maybe it’s the sleep apnea (I use an Auto BiPap, no worries) lol.

That really grinds my gears… I made it to the 6pm Mass on the HDO and of course, jangly guitar music.

Definitely evening. Mornings are for sleeping. 😴 💤

I am the opposite. Evening Masses are sleepy time for me. 😪

Unfortunately, my work schedule precludes Sunday morning Mass, so I offer up Saturday evening attendance as a penance 🙃
 
Morning. But only because I am not well enough to function later in the day. Still if it is only in the evening then I’ll find a way, but by choice morning.
 
I prefer Morning Mass. That way I can take the rest of the day not constantly reminding myself to make sure I go to Mass.
 
Well there is very limited options here , of different times. We go when Mass is on.
 
Lately I’ve been going to the Saturday vigil Mass because it’s convenient to where I work.

Also if I go on Saturday night I can listen to the EWTN radio Mass on Sunday morning.

If I go on Sunday morning I prefer the early morning “no frills” Mass with no music.
 
I prefer the Saturday Vigil Mass. I’m not a morning person, recently retired, live alone. On the occasions when I have attended the Sunday 7 am and 9 am Mass, I feel less focused. The 11 am Mass is too crowded and noisy for me. My entire Saturday is focused on Mass, anticipation, participation, then contemplation in the evening. It works for me.
 
My regular Mass time is the 10:30 Sunday Mass but I will go to Mass whenever.
 
Daily Mass is a no-go for me since my work day starts at 9 and Mass is at 10.

Sunday Mass is celebrated on Saturday at 4:30 p.m. and Sunday at 10:00 a.m. I normally go on Saturday because that’s when I read and I’m often on the schedule 3 weeks in a row. I occasionally go on Sunday morning but it’s not my preference; if I’m at Sunday morning Mass it usually means I wasn’t scheduled to read the night before and had to be at work at 5:30 or 6:00 p.m.
