Discover the Beauty and Meaning of the Mass!
Why do we stand, kneel, and sit during Mass? What is the meaning behind the prayers, gestures, and traditions of our Catholic faith?
Join us for a Teaching Mass as we explore the meaning of each part of the Mass, deepen our understanding of the Eucharist, and discover the richness of our Catholic liturgy.
