Teaching Masses
As part of our Parish Strategic Vision and Plan, Holy Family Parish hosted
two sets of Teaching Masses.
One focused on deepening understanding of the Liturgy of the Word, while the second explored the Liturgy of the Eucharist.
A Teaching Mass is a liturgy specifically designed to explain the meaning behind the various prayers, rituals, and symbols used at Mass. During these celebrations, Father paused at key moments throughout the liturgy to provide instruction and help parishioners better understand the “why” behind the “what” of the Mass.
