    tasks = [usccb.get_mass_from_date(dt, types) for dt in dates]
    responses = await asyncio.gather(*tasks)
    masses = [m for m in responses if m]
    masses.sort(key=lambda m: m.date.toordinal() if m.date else -1)
    for mass in masses:
        end = "\n" if mass is masses[-1] else "\n\n"
        print(mass, end=end)

# To query for a range of masses (step how you want to):
