Biblical Walk through the Mass by Edward Sri, S.T.D.

A Biblical Walk Through the Mass is a five-part study that provides a unique tour of the timeless Liturgy. It explores the biblical roots of the words and gestures we experience in Mass and explains their profound significance. Participants in this study will come to know and understand the Mass like never before. They will see, perhaps for the first time, why they say what they say and do what they do every week at Mass. The words and gestures will be seen in a new light-leading them to a richer, more fruitful worship experience.Through this study we hope to prepare ourselves for the context of the new translation coming Advent, 2011. This bible study will be a total of 6 weeks and begins on Tuesday, September 20. Workbooks need to be ordered by August 16. if you have any questions or are interested in this study please contact Pat Kolb at the Faith Formation Office at 651-565-3718
