Teaching Mass - March 20th 7pm and March 27th 1pm

Have you ever wondered why or what the steps of the Mass are for?  For Lent Fr. Rooney is offering a Teaching Mass for everyone of the parish where he will go through the whole Mass (minus the words of consecration) and explain what is going on. 
  • the history of the vestments the priest wears; which of his vestments is the one that tells you he is a priest? when does he have to wear it? why we are supposed to say all the readings from one place? what the importance and/or history of pews and kneelers in church? where the actual words of consecration are; why the priest washes his hands; why do we have a family bring up the gifts? what where/are the bells used for during mass? what do you do if you drop the host? and why do we bow before receiving communion?
