How many masses can a priest say in one day?

Answer 1

I believe a priest is normally limited to no more than three Masses in one day.

.

AnswerAbsent special pressing circumstances, a priest may only say Mass once a day. If he has to say a second Mass, say on a Sunday, it is called binating and he must obtain permission, at least implicitly from his Bishop. If he has to say three Masses - known as Trinating, he must call his Bishop each time and obtain a dispensation. I have never heard of any permission beyond that, he may only keep the stipend for the first Mass said.

Answer 2

According to the Code of Canon Law, priests are "earnestly invited to offer the eucharistic Sacrifice daily" (Can. 276 § 2).

Answer 3

Priests are generally limited to saying 3 masses per day.
