The catholic concept of holding mass prayers is often deemed to be the most authentic way of worshipping God, as established by the Bible. As recorded in Saint Paul’s Epistle’s and Acts of the Apostles there have been early references of community gatherings, called Eucharist, to commemorate the event of the Lord’s Supper. In fact, there have been several mentions of mass gatherings in history, with the earliest record indicating mass gatherings in the tombs of martyrs in Rome, to commemorate the sacrifices made by the martyrs. Today, the Catholic Church makes it mandatory for all Christians to attend the Sunday Masses in an attempt to live up to and fulfil the commands of the Lord. Although, a huge number of Christians regularly attend church on Sundays and consider it a important part of their religious beliefs, very few of them actually understand the full import of the meaning that is associated with the Sunday Church Mass Times. Catholic Church Masses are always conducted on Sundays, because this was the day chosen by the Lord as the day of the Sabbath. Also, Christ’s resurrection happened on a Sundayâ€"so to honour the sacrifice made by Jesus and to celebrate his continuing presence in the life of every one of disciples the Church asks every devout Christian to gather in His name on Sunday’s and not to get engaged in any kind of unwanted work on this holy day, just as the third commandment also laid down that every Christian must keep the Sabbath day holy. A very important part of Sunday Church Mass is the Holy Communion that is often held to depict the Last Supper of Christ. It is a sacred banquet that is often arranged by Churches on important occasions like the Easter. Although, the communion is not obligatory it is suggested that every Christian follow the Mass Schedule to perform their sacramental confession before a priest. At most times, the Sunday Mass as well as the Saturday Vigil Mass have groups of children singing devotional songs in congregation and are often accompanied by musical instruments. In fact, in several neighbourhoods Church communities have groups of Choir singers. Although, most Church Masses are held on Sundays, there are some Churches that hold their Mass gatherings on weekdays. Many Christians travelling around the world often want to know the Catholic Church Mass Times in cities they are visiting.
