At the very heart of our worship is the Mass. In preparation for the Eucharistic Congress on the four Sundays, October 8, 15, 22 & 29, I will incorporate into the Mass a teaching explanation of the Mass along with a short homily. The topics will focus on (1) our gathering for the Mass, Penitential Rite, Gloria, and Collect Prayer; (2) Liturgy of the Word; (3) Liturgy of the Eucharist; and (4) Communion Rite, Blessing, and Sending forth. I look forward to sharing with you as we together reflect on the Mass.
