It meant that it was almost over and I could get the fuck out of there and do something usefull like playing with other kids. Damn shit would never take less than an hour!
My experience was always right at 45 minutes. Mass started taking a bit longer when Parish's decided revenues were higher with a full band.
In CCD, we kids all made a pact to run interference as much as possible to cut down on the post mass informal meet and greets between the pews and the cars. Pure agony; having to stand politely by while adults droned on about something totally inconsequential when emancipation was so near.
