Holy Angels Catholic Church
Sunday Worship ~ The Catholic Mass
Return to Home Page or use BACK feature on Internet Browser to return to previous page.
     The celebration of the mass is the reenactment of the Last Supper. On the night before his death, Jesus, whom we believe to be the Christ, Messiah, Son of God, celebrated the Passover feast with his apostles, and instituted the Eucharist in which His body and blood become our spiritual food.
     While most regular worshippers at Holy Angels or any Catholic Church are familiar with the order of the mass, we offer this photo album with explanations for some of the main parts of this "liturgy" or worship ritual. This is not a complete description or explanation of our principal worship. But we hope that it will be interesting and informative for those unfamiliar with Catholic worship, and with worship at Holy Angels Catholic Church. Inquiries and visitors are welcome ~ please see our home page and parish page for links to more information.
