QUESTION?
What about Saturday night Mass? Is it equivalent to Sunday Mass?
ANSWER!
Cathechism of the Catholic Church paragraph - 2180 The precept of the Church specifies the law of the Lord more precisely: “On Sundays and other holy days of obligation the faithful are bound to participate in the Mass.” “The precept of participating in the Mass is satisfied by assistance at a Mass which is celebrated anywhere in a Catholic rite either on the holy day or on the evening of the preceding day.”
