Our Eucharist Renewal Initiative moves into the next phase this Sunday with the start of “teaching Masses” that will run for three consecutive Sundays.

To deepen the understanding of the ritual actions of the Mass, the diocese has developed a step-by-step explanation of the Eucharistic liturgy. The explanation is presented within the framework of a meal, where we gather, we tell stories, we share a meal and we are sent renewed into world.

The explanation will be presented over three weeks:

Week 1 (Oct. 9-10) Gathering: Introductory and Concluding Rites. These have been combined to be covered in a single week.
Week 2 (Oct. 16-17) Storytelling: Liturgy of the Word
Week 3 (Oct. 23-24) Meal sharing: Liturgy of the Eucharist

Here are links to download a guide for Week 1 in English and Spanish.
