people have to maintain their one-hour fast to receive Holy Communion, attend mass, eat breakfast and commute to work and be on time. I wish they had something like this where I live. For some reason, most parishes do not have daily mass in the evening when everyone is home, I never figured that out. A mass at 6 pm, or 6:30 pm would be great and very-few to none have one.

Daily Mass at our parish is held at 8:30 a.m. and 6:00 p.m.
The 8:30 is usually around 40-50 people, mostly older retired folks and mothers with young children because most folks have to be to work by 8:30 or 9:00. The 6:00 p.m. is the after-work crowd, and it's usually quite full -- maybe 100 people.
The parish has a weekly fellowship supper on Wednesday, and that moves to Friday during Lent for the Fish Fry. They conveniently schedule it for right after Mass!
