” “Just before the summer holidays and millions of French people going away, the new version of the website about Mass times all over France is now on line. The search criteria have been increased (by parish church, by place of worship, by municipality, by department and even by ZIP code), and surfing has been made easier. On the website (messesinfo.cef.fr), the fruit of the national coordination between the Information and Communication Service of the French Bishops Conference and the dioceses, people can find the times of Sunday and holiday and before-holiday mass over a three-month period, and if times are not right the website proposes alternative options within 20 kilometres of the selected places of worship. Monasteries and abbeys have also been included. The fruit of the progress of the Mass Information Service organised by the French Bishops in 2002, today’s MessesInfo can also be consulted by phone at 0892251212. In 2005, the fourth year the service has been running, 25 thousand enquiries have been made by telephone, while over 1 million enquiries have been made through the Internet.” “
