Most are on Sunday mornings & Sunday School, and Sunday night, and at least one mid-week service. Many also have youth groups, groups of children, women's groups, men's groups, groups of seniors, some sort of training or classes of discipleship for new Christians, fellowships "Meetin eating", the functions of the ministry (as a food pantry, thrift shop, etc.) and, of course, practice sessions for the choir, committees, etc.. Not all of these are hours of worship, but the service is half of religion in action, or "putting feet to their faith ".....

While the Sunday Mass is unprecedented and is required for attendance unless you attended a Saturday vigil Mass (Vatican II), daily mass is aimed at those who chose to spend more time holding Sacrifice of Christ to his faithful. However, does not absolve the church, whether a requirement to attend vigil Saturday or Sunday mass. The Catholic Mass is a memorial and a Sacrifice.

People have different reasons to attend daily Mass. As a child I was, because they attended the parish school, but when I was a teenager and goes to public high school, still continued to attend Mass almost every morning with my mother. It was a great way to start the day in front at right, with a good attitude and also have time for spiritual union.   FTR not only Roman Catholics who have daily masses. There are also some Anglican / Episcopal churches that have daily Eucharist, too. This is common in large metropolitan areas such as Trinity, Episcopal Church of New York in the district of Wall Street, but even small towns and rural villages have a daily prayer service in the morning, too. The Book of Common Prayer have been created for this type of service every day if a church wants to do.   I like to have the kind of work schedule that would allow me to attend the Eucharist each day either in a RC or Anglican church. Yes, you can get mass / Eucharist readings via podcast, but it's just not the same.   Moreover, why neglecting the worship of the Lord until Sunday or what is called the Sabbath? After all, synogogues in the Bible is opened every day, not only on the Sabbath. There were people who practically live in the synagogues, as the prophetess Anna and Simeon, as mentioned in the New Testament. Both were elderly and were grateful to still be alive to see the birth of Jesus the Messiah, as recorded in the Gospels.   I think a better question is why are not more churches in the Great Commission, taking more seriously and do not stay open every day of worship for those who wish to attend, or at least have a quiet place to go within and reflect and gather spiritual strength? Not that one of the ministry, and part of sharing the Good News?   What I think is so embarrassing and appallng are some so-called mega-churches aligned with the Protestant Christianity which closed on Christmas Day because he is more concerned with body count, which translates into revenue for the pastor and his family ... about what they are providing spiritual guidance and to save souls!

You can talk to Him, worship Him, praise Him, sing to the Lord, just where you are standing, sitting, kneeling or lying down, any time you want. He is there with you all the time.
