Hello, I am traveling in April 2022 and I want to attend a Gospel mass on Wednesday, can anyone give me information? From already thank you very much.
Hello, if you were able to attend the gospel mass on Wednesday? I will go in August
I would like to go on my own and I have visited all the churches that were mentioned but I can't find where I can register to attend. Could someone send me the direct link to sign up?
Thank you
Very useful information. I will be in the US this year but I won't be there on a Sunday. I would love to see a gospel mass, and I have been told that there are churches that do them during the week (Wednesdays or Saturdays). Could you tell me something about it? Names and addresses of those churches and hours, please?
There are many people who cannot attend on a Sunday but are interested in seeing it during the week, and there is very little information about it on the internet, could you help us?
Thank you.
Irene, you can search for it on the websites of the different churches on the list. For example, Antioch has services on Wednesdays
