Why go to Mass daily? For Catholics, the Holy Mass is the highest form of worship. St. John Vianney, patron saint of all priests, once said that if we knew the value of the Mass, we would die of joy.

  Why go to Mass as often as you can? We share below 16 reasons to go to Mass as often as you can, preferably even daily. These "16 graces derived from assisting at Mass" are shared in the "Pieta Prayer Booklet".
Particularly striking is this: "One Mass heard during life will be of more benefit to you than many heard for you after your death."
Let us attend as many Masses - while we still can!
