how long is mass

A typical Catholic Mass lasts about one hour on Sundays and Saturdays (weekend Mass). Daily Masses during the week are generally shorter, lasting approximately 20 to 35 minutes, sometimes up to half an hour. The length varies depending on the particular celebration, presence of music, number of communicants, and the length of the homily. Some special occasions, like the Easter Vigil, may take several hours, but the ordinary weekly Mass is usually around an hour on weekends and shorter on weekdays.
