Explanatory Mass

An Explanatory Mass is a very enriching experience to learn all what goes on during the Mass. The better you understand the Mass, the more effectively you can pray during the Mass. Fr. Ed will stop and explain each prayer, action, and gesture. He will explain why you are standing, kneeling, or sitting. He will explain the various Eucharistic prayers and share why he uses the ones he does. As you probably know, there are many sub-vocal prayers the priest is supposed to whisper during Mass. Fr. Ed will say those aloud so you can hear what he is praying and why. And, he will explain the reasons for the priest’s various vestments.
