When my daughter and I toured her future RC high school in Knoxville and we
were being shown the chapel, the adult guide explained that a daily mass
was available for all students who wished to attend, but that she would
only be required to attend the occasional "class mass" about once a month.
I said to her that she'd find it was very similar to the service in our
prayer book, and the guide turned around and said, "Oh yes, but you do it
SO much better!"
