I believe the answer is:

palm

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'sunday?' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't see how they can define each other.

'part of papal mass this' is the wordplay.
'part of' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'PALM' is hidden within 'papal mass this'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for palm that I've seen before include "Leaf in part of the hand?" , "may need greasing" , "Sign of victory" , "Flat part of the hand" , "Conceal magician" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
