Every Sunday,unless I’m ill. I also teach Sunday School, second and third graders. Great kids, I hardly ever have to get out the whip and chair.(That’s a joke, son.) Some other weekdays, as when Christmas and Holy Week services roll around.
I’m a lapsed Presbyterian, but I go to mass pretty much every week with my family and sing in the choir.
D’oh! I forgot about the Triduum, which is not obligatory. Then I go Thursday through Saturday in addition to Easter Sunday.
Thanks. That’s what I thought you meant, but assuming that I know what I’m talking about is not always the best course for me, so I wanted to check.
We go on Days of Obligation, when we can figure out which ones are required in our country and diocese. We’re new Catholics, and it sometimes isn’t made very clear which ones are required. Quick question- since the Immaculate Conception is on a Saturday this year, does it get lumped in with Sunday Mass, or do we go Satuday and Sunday? We generally attend Vigil Mass.
St.Germain, our priest is East Indian, too. Lovely man, sometimes a little difficult to understand, though.
I’ve been to a church 3 times in the last 30 years… all for weddings. I missed my youngest brother’s second wedding or it might have been 4 times.
Once a week. United Church of Christ.
I’ll hit the special services: Ash Wednesday, Good Friday, Christmas Eve…etc. if they’re during the week.
I usually skip the midweek contemporary service.
Weddings and funerals. And I’m at precisely that age (35) where not much of either is happening in my circle of friends. I honestly can’t remember the last time I set foot in a church.
Never.
Raised Roman Catholic, 13 years of Catholic school. I graduated high school in St. Mary’s Cathedral, and I haven’t been to Mass since.
I did go to Mission Dolores a few months ago, but that was for the history and the photography. It was weird, being so trained to genuflect and sign the cross and all that. I don’t particularly care about that anymore, but the training is still there.
After a little googling, I can see where you got confused. The universal feasts appear on the calendar published by the CCCB as Solemnities, but it turns out that there are only two Holy Days of Obligation in the Canadian Church, Christmas and Mary Mother of God. Here is a handy-dandy reference to holy days in most English-speaking countries. For us in the U.S., Immaculate Conception isn’t movable so we’ll be going to Mass twice that weekend.
And as to the OP, I attend weekly plus holy days, Ash Wednesday, the three days of the Triduum, the rare daily mass, and other one-offs (weddings, funerals, baptisms, and about two years ago the dedication of our new church.) It probably averages to about 1.2 times per week. Roman Catholic, just to restate the obvious.
Baptised & confirmed Catholic, now atheist. I go when there’s a funeral.
As often as there is a wedding or funeral. Rarely.
Colour me as floored by this post as Friar Ted
Weekly, at least.
I was gonna say only for weddings, but then I realized that the last few friends who married had their ceremonies outdoors, with no church/clergy involvement. The last time i was in a church, then, was around 9 years ago. I could smell sulfur, and the stained glass shook. 
I actually had to do a search of his posts to make sure I was remembering things correctly. Color me the same as ya’ll!
It’s confusing even within the US. Out East here we observe almost all, but out where my parents live in Colorado they mostly get celebrated on Sunday. I guess the geographic distances plus priest shortage compell this? The IC is being celebrated Friday evening and Sat morning here. I think last year Mary Mother of God was celebrated on Sunday even here though.
I was confused too, assuming I misremembered the name but it seems I didn’t. Subscribing because I’m curious as to the answer.
To answer the OP, the only times are weddings and as a tourist. I don’t think I’ve been to a funeral in one yet.
I’m surprised at how frequent some dopers attend church. I was under the erroneous perception that most of our religious dopers weren’t very church-going
My parents took me till I was 15. Then my Sunday School teacher confirmed there was no evidence for God, so I stopped.
