Have you ever heard somone say that the Catholic Mass is boring? It is most likely because they don’t understand all that is truly happening.

In this first of two parts podcast, Fr. Chris answers Dorothy and John’s questions like, why do we sit, stand and kneel at certain times during the mass? Why are there so many candles in the sanctuary, and why do altar servers hold candles on either side of the priest or deacon as he reads the gospel? How long is a homily supposed to be? And many more. Sit back relax and take a listen.
