What is the Catholic Mass?
The Catholic Mass is an act of worship in which we remember and celebrate the passion, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. The Mass will contain many prayers, readings from the Bible, and reach its highest point in the Eucharist in which we Catholics believe bread and wine become the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ that we receive in Communion.
