If the priests would offer an evening mass on Solemnities, maybe there would be some attendance. Also, had a priest one time call them Holy Days of Opportunity. At the solemnity of the Annunciation our priest was all about how he wished more people would come, but there were 2 things I noticed. No announcement or discussion at the Sunday mass, and no evening mass that day, so if you wanted to come, but worked, you were out of luck.
