I'm normally at my church from 3pm to 10pm. I'm not just in mass the whole time, though.

Wow that's long what all happens?.

Not saying God wouldn't be worth it cause He is! Though the Church is there to reform the people not the people to reform the Church. However even a Latin Mass is only 1 1/2 when there are loads of people at my Church!

Besides sometimes I spend my whole Sunday Mass-hopping!
We like to attend the beautiful Shrine of St. Joseph's in St. Louis city! [url="http://www.shrineofstjoseph.org/"]link[/url] at 11:00 Mass then we talk afterwords. We get home around 1:30 and then at two head off to our parish for the Latin Mass at 3. And sometimes my brother will serve for the Monastery of Poor Clair's at 6:30 AM.

My parents never make us attend more than one however we make one as a family!

Good grief mang.

Well, if you go to sunday school... then you will be in church at 9am. Sit through various meetings and so forth till 11am. 11am starts Sunday service, singing, praying, whats going on in the community, collection plate, other announcments, and then the preacher preaches. And it depends on the message and if anyone is responding or not, the preacher could preach for an hour...two hours...and if its first sunday (we take communion once a month) its a wrap. It can be an all day affair.

I get to church around 3, help set up for middle school youth, then i help with it, then i get ready for mass and usually i'm trying to find altar servers last minute and at the same time handing out worship aids, then mass at 5:30 and normally i end up being an extraordinary minister because people don't ever show up to the right mass when they're supposed to do it, then i set stuff up for high school youth right after mass and i do whatever my YM or anyone else needs me to do until around 10:00 usually.

and that's just on sunday. I'm usually helping out at church in some form every day of the week except for monday.
