 Good morning. Hey, my question is, if the liturgy of the word isn't said at a Sunday mass, is it still a valid mass? No. So the only valid mass, I'm not being glib here, but the only valid mass would be a valid mass. Anything else would not be mass. And there are some situations where the church foresees maybe a Eucharistic service, perhaps led by a deacon. But those are relatively rare and they don't count or qualify as a mass.
