Catholic Mass - What's It All About?

The Teaching Mass

Have you ever wondered:
   why is the Mass structured the way it is?
   why all the gestures, the sitting, standing, kneeling?
   where do those prayers come from?
   what does THAT mean?

Has your non-Catholic friend or significant other ever
asked you questions about the Mass that have left you
scratching your head?  Would you like to share your
faith more fully with them?

If you've ever found yourself at Mass thinking: "I've
always wanted to ask about that..."

Then come out and join us for The Teaching Mass!
We'll walk through the entire Mass - from opening hymn
to final blessing - and explain what's what.  And you can
stop it any time to ask questions.  So bring your questions
and a friend!

Note: this will not be a valid Catholic Mass (no consecration
of the Eucharist), but all the actual prayers and gestures of the
Mass will be enacted.
