And do kids go to hell if they miss a school mass (without a good excuse, of course, acceptable to God and/or the Catholic school)?[/quote]

Yes .  Missing mass is a mortal sin.[/quote]

I know you are joking but daily mass is not required except holy days of obligation (and Sundays). Some idiots on here will think you mean it.[/quote]

Not Joking.  If the kids are ordered to go, it's a mortal sin to not go.

That’s not how it works. [/quote]

That's how it works -- when a superior orders you to do something, it's a mortal sin to refuse.[/quote]

No--not at all what Catholics believe! Actually nearly all the saints stood up to a superior. And if it is a sin at all, it would be venial sin, not a mortal sin. You were either poorly miseducated as a Catholic by some bad actors just wanting submission which absolutely did exist in the history of the Church (if this is it, please go and read the catechism and/or go to adult faith formation classes) or you are anti-Catholic.

Catholics believe that Mass is a celebration, a place of community, and an opportunity to connect with God through the sacraments. Daily mass is a gift, not at all required.

OP: Here is it very common to go to have a school mass once a week around here. Where I grew up in Baltimore, we usually went to mass the first Friday of the month and any holy days of obligation. We'd have a few other times--usually the day we got out for Thanksgiving Break, sometime in Advent and Lent, and the last day of school (or around then).
