Is it said at the Mass that you normally attend?

Yes. I believe it is said at all nine of the Masses for the Sunday obligation. Also, the Angelus before Mass (Regina Caeli during Easter).
In South LA, it is routinely said after every Mass I’ve attended (daily and Sunday.) Only rarely have I not heard it said.
Yes. Every Mass. I think throughout the Diocese of Lansing.
It’s said at the end of all masses in the New Orleans Archdiocese.
I attend Masses in both the Peoria and Springfield IL dioceses and it is done in both places with slight variations. Generally in Springfield it is prayed at the end of Mass after the dismissal with the words “thrust into Hell Satan and all evil spirits who wander about the world seeking the ruin of souls”. One Peoria diocesan parish does it right after Communion and the others do it after the dismissal, with the words “cast into Hell Satan” and “prowl about the world”.
Yes, after every Mass following the final blessing, along with a Hail Mary.
We go to two different parishes. Not surprisingly the more reverent Mass (further away) says it, while the one in town seldom does.
Yes, after the final blessing, at our tiny parish in rural NW Illinois where we spend the summer and early fall. No in our suburban Dallas parish, even though it is manned by very reverent clergy and many younger women wear chapel veils at Mass. Instead, we are subjected to the Liturgy of the Announcements before the final blessing, a practice I abhor.
Yes, every Priest, every Mass, every day.
it was until recently. Our new pastor wasn’t comfortable doing it right after the final blessing. My wife and I sometimes recite it ourselves after the closing hymn. I think doing it as part of the petitions is an good idea.
Frank-
*The Liturgy of the Announcements*
I’m going to have to use that gem.
PS- I’m glad to know it irks other people too 🙂
Before mass on campus, after mass at the local parishes.
Yes, during the petitions.
We say it at mine too. Here I thought it was a rarity.
Every Mass, weekday and weekend, and after every public Rosary.
The nearest parish to me is St. Michael’s. So, it is said just before the final blessing.
Yes, here in the Lebanon deanery of the Diocese of Harrisburg, I know that at least 3 of our parishes pray it at the end of each Mass, immediately after the final blessing
For 24 years the Prayer to Saint Michael has been prayed after the Concluding Rite at all Masses. Week days the priest leaves the altar; pauses in the sacristy, and then returns, makes the sign of the cross and the Prayer to Saint Paul is recited.
Holy Hour (30 minutes) Adoration is post Mass Mon., Wed. and Fri.
On Sundays and Saturday Vigil there is a recessional hymn after St. Michael prayer.
The Mission was founded in 1890 on the NNK of Virginia. Devout Catholic Polish and Bohemian workers travelled by steamboat from Baltimore to work. They let it be known that they would not stay through harvest unless there was a place for the them to worship. Two Protestant families donated the land and building materials for a little clapboard church. Each Sunday a Trinitarian priest arrived by boat from Leonardtown MD to say Mass.
With a resident priest and a new church the Mission’s Anglo and Hispanic congregation is growing.
