Mass Times Module - How it works

eCatholic's Mass Times module allows Catholic parishes to easily add Mass times + details to the parish website. Instead of manually typing and formatting your Mass times in a Text module, let the Mass Times module do the work for you!

1

Add Mass times to your site

The first step is to add Mass times in your site-wide settings.

1. Click Admin in the white Admin Toolbar > Sacraments & MassTime™ > Mass Times.

2. Select a Mass in one of the three available categories:

   • Regular Mass Schedule - Click Sunday Mass Schedule to add your recurring Sunday Masses; click Daily Mass Schedule to add your recurring Daily Masses.
   • Holy Days - Click a pre-populated Holy Day to add your Mass schedule for that day.
   • Special Masses - Hover your cursor and click the plus (+) icon to create a Special Mass (e.g., Baccalaureate Mass, Mass for the Unborn, or a Holy Day not currently in the pre-populated list).
     
     

     Note: Under the Holy Days and Special Masses categories, Mass times will be listed ONLY if they are scheduled to take place within 30 days of the current calendar date.
     
     Example: Each year, your Mass schedule for the Solemnity of All Saints (Nov. 1) will appear beginning on Oct. 1, and disappear on Nov. 2.

3. Click the +Add Mass Time button to enter details for the new Mass Time, such as:

• Day - Use the Day drop-down menu to select the day(s) of the week on which the Mass occurs.
  • When adding Holy Day Mass times or times of Special Masses, use the Day field to indicate whether it is a Holy Day Mass or a Holy Day Vigil Mass.
• Language - Use the Language drop-down menu to select the Mass language.
• Start Time - Select or type the time Mass begins.
• Notes - Add a brief note to appear next to the Mass time within the module.

Click the green Save button to close the New Mass Time dialog. Repeat the process for each Mass time you'd like to add. Once finished, don't forget to click the green Save button.

NOTE: Only Admins on parish websites have access to add/edit Mass times.
