I go to a catholic mass, go because I find it beautiful and uplifting,it strenghtens my faith - the prayers, the communion and the singing do that, but also seeing all those other people who wanted to be there as well . You see so much hostility to the catholic church during the week and then you go and see the church packed full, young, old, men, women, all races and different nationalities, doctors and cleaners, worshipping together - it helps.
Also, I'm 40 now, I find I am getting more and more nostalgic, sentimental about my childhood/ adolescence and being in a traditional church building, stained windows and all, and listening to the same mass prayers, brings memories and feels like home, love the feeling.
It is all very therapheutic going to mass, always leave uplifted and happy.
I don't go dancing, I do sometimes drink with my husband but not so much as to suffer a hangover. We get very jolly but never lose the plot.
I do tend to go very late to bed, so many things I want to do/watch, so lie in is great, but the mass only starts 11.30, so I do get it, coffee in bed, a book or the IPad, followed by cereal in bed, followed by green tea, and then I get up.
We have lunch after church, dinner (our main course of the day), not necessary a roast at all, late in the evening, I always cook it too late , bad organizer.
South Bucks, very affluent leafy town, I am sadly not affluent.
