Mass Moments (Part 1 – Sept-Nov 2024)

This fall, Fr. Eilen will be presenting teaching about the Mass and Eucharist during his homilies focusing on the Introductory Rites and the Liturgy of the Word (followed by an accompanying handout). The ritual words, signs, and actions of the Mass lead us into an encounter with Jesus Christ. What happened at the Last Supper is present and happening at each and every Mass! 

View the handout corresponding with Father’s homily below:
