How to Participate in the Mass in a More Intentional Way
What if what we learn on Sundays teaches us how to live the rest of the week? What if what happens during the week can be brought to God on Sunday in thanksgiving and prayers for guidance? Vicki will share an overview of the parts of the Mass and practical tips on participating in each part in a more intentional way.

Fr. Mike Joncas
Taking what we Learn in the Mass out into the World in our Daily Lives
Become what you receive. Collectively, we are the Body of Christ. How do we act as the Body of Christ? How can we better understand the relationship of the liturgy and carrying out the mission of the Church? How do we live the Mass outside of the Mass and allow the liturgy to teach us how to act in the world? Fr. Michael Joncas will teach us how to take what we learn in the Mass out into the World in our daily lives.

Fr. Talbot and Fr. Wil
A Walk through the Mass
Our priests will explain and demonstrate parts of the Mass so we can better understand the words and actions that take place during the liturgy.
