Author Topic: Confirmation on a Friday Night - Have a question, please (Read 1491 times)

Daughter's Confirmation is on a Friday night at an FSSP parish. The food afterward is going to be a light soup dinner (no meat).

My question is: is there a usual Confirmation Mass in the Traditional Rite that would be said whether or not it fell on a Friday night?

Or, is there a difference from say a Sunday afternoon versus a Friday evening? Basic question: high Mass or low Mass ?

Pardon any ignorance my question betrays here, I'm new to the Traditional Rite.

God Bless,
MrsZ

A priest can say a high or low Mass any day of the week.

In normal times, Mass is supposed to be said before 3 PM (I might be wrong on the precise hour), but nowadays that's not always possible. Most priests have a "Mass circuit" they have to travel to bring Mass to several groups each Sunday.

Mrs. Z, congratulations on behalf of your daughter.

Thank you for your response, and congratulations.

We're looking forward to this lovely event, not only because of it's significance in our daughter's life as a Catholic, but also because our family is either liberal Novus Ordo, atheist or neo-pagan. This should be an "experience" for them!

Obviously, through the power of the Holy Spirit (i.e. Ghost), we hope and pray for conversions ... and who knows? This event may just be instrumental is bringing about such a thing.

God Bless,
MrsZ

Mrs Z

I made my Confirmation on a Thursday night and that was before the Church fell apart. If I remember correctly, it was a common thing back then. First Holy Communion was on a Saturday morning; confirmations were on a weekday night.
