Parts of the Mass

Dear brothers and sisters in Christ,

The celebration of the Most Holy Eucharist is the center of our Christian life. Sometimes, we may wonder what is happening at each moment of Holy Mass.  We want to know what a word or gesture means.

The Office for Divine Worship is pleased to introduce to you a video series and online course on the parts of the Mass that invite us into the heart of the mystery we celebrate.

Through insightful reflections and teachings, you will learn the beautiful meaning of each element of the Mass, from the Introductory Rites to the Concluding Rites.

We pray this series enkindles in us a renewed love for Jesus in the Eucharist and inspires us to deeper participation every time we go to Mass.

Together, let us begin this journey into the heart of the Sacred Liturgy.
