There's an Old Testament reading in everything Catholic Mass, except during the period immediately after Easter, when the reading is usually from Acts of the Apostles, and sometimes during Advent, when Revelation is read. Also, there is always a Psalm. Several other denominations, including Lutherans, use the same Lectionary.

Ditto. Raised as a Catholic I’ve never noticed any paucity of Old Testament reading. Jewish Tradition is also referenced very frequently.

"There's an Old Testament reading in everything Catholic .......... other denominations, including Lutherans, use the same Lectionary. " Good point...... And may I add that is the case also in most evangelical bible-based Protestant churches. For instance in our presbyterian PCA church it is considered true that to properly study the New Testiment we MUST use the references in the Old Testiment for understanding in the full context.
