I wish you knew the joys of church, maybe some day you will. I grew up in church, and I do admit that some times I did not want to go. my parents made me go any way. then I learned a lesson about not just attending church but serving too. now I am on of 2 Jr. leaders in the church. on Sundays I take up the offering, am an usher, and sometimes teach the younger kids. (note: I am 17). on Wednesday nights I help teach a class to k-2ND graders. I love going to church, I was there all day today. we had a valentines banquet and I was one of 3 cooks. we also had 3 helpers but the main cooks were me and 2 other men. when we do a meal, we do a meal. since I am training to be a chef, and both men were chefs we cooked a meen dinner.
get inolved at church, get your firends involved in church. church is the best place to be, any time.

It's a little hard to exactly understand the timing of this. I first thought that the party was saturday night, and you went to church on Sunday. I can't imagine church being more than an hour or two.
I would suggest working with your mom. Can you go to the party after church? Or come home early? How about attending a later mass? Usually churches have multiple times.
I know my church has a 5pm saturday mass as well, that shouldn't conflict with the party.

Don't lie - that'll have you grounded. Can you think about what it is about the party that your mom is worried about - does she think (does she have good reason to think?) that there could be drugs, too much drink, pressure to behave sexually? Does she know the other people who'll be there and have reason to be concerned? If so, she could be genuinely worried about your welfare and it would be worth listening to her, if only to set her mind at rest.
Then surely you could come to a compromise: church first, then on to the party later? (how long does the church service last? can't be that long, surely?). Can you promise to be home by a certain time and keep the promise? always have your mobile phone with you? Can you present this to her as a chance to show her that you can be trusted (and so can your friends?)
You certainly need to talk about this, and it ought to be possible to talk without it becoming a battle-ground. On the face of it, it's not unreasonable for there to be an outcome where each of you gives a little ... and makes it easier next time around.

Um, you probably can't, at least not without making your mom very angry. But your church probably isn't as long as the party--you should try to make a deal with your mom so you'll go to church first and then go to the party after.
If that doesn't work, remember that you won't live at home forever and someday you'll get to go to parties whenever you want!

Tell her that you really want to go to this party tonight and promise her that you'll go to church in the morning.

Obviously you must be pretty young person.
As you age and mature, you will realize that there is nothing more important than church and your relationship with the Lord.
It is important for you to realize the earlier the better what your true priorities in life should be.

Tell your mother the truth. It is wrong for a parent to attempt to force religion upon a child of ANY age. That has to be your decision.
