I have heard people call for rural parishes to have Eucharistic services mid week, but my fear is, that with the passage of time, the difference between Mass and a service could be blurred.  It would surely be better to have lay led Rosary, Stations or Divine Office to maintain our Catholic traditions and ethos?

A number of Bishops e.g. Bishop Mark Jabale of Menvia (South Wales) have warned against this. There is room for an Eucharistic Service if no Mass is available on Sunday but during the rest of the week such Services are not to be encouraged for the reasons stated by Rose.

There is no 'right' to receive Communion every day!

Some of the green cardigan and 'we are the church' brigade may find that surprising.
