We are determined to keep the group going through this period of crisis. Therefore, we will continue to read the current book, according to the schedule below. Any comments or questions you would like to share with the group can be sent to Len Commini who will send them out to the entire group. He will then send any replies out to the entire group as well, so that we can hold an online conversation of sorts about the book. We can continue this way until we are permitted to meet again. Stay home, stay safe, stay healthy! And God bless you!
Beginning in March, the Catholic Book Club will be reading a new book. Living the Mass, by Fr. Dominic Grassi and Joe Paprocki.Living the Mass
by Fr. Dominic Grassi and Joe Paprocki
Many Catholics believe that far more people would attend Mass if only the homilies were better, or the music was more inspiring, or . . . the list goes on. But best-selling authors Fr. Dominic Grassi and Joe Paprocki are convinced that the real problem lies not in the Mass itself but in a lack of understanding of how the Mass prepares each person to live day in and day out as a baptized Catholic.
In this revised edition of Living the Mass, which includes the changes in the Roman Missal, Grassi and Paprocki thoughtfully explain how each part of the Mass relates to our baptismal call, effectively closing the gap between Sunday Mass and the rest of the week.
Ideal for the countless Catholics who haven’t been to Mass in a while, for the many who attend Mass simply out of habit, or for anyone who desires to join the Catholic Church, Living the Mass compellingly demonstrates how the one hour spent at Mass on Sunday can truly transform how we think and act the other 167 hours of the week.
If you want to get more out of the Mass, please join us in March, as we begin reading our new book, Living the Mass.
The Catholic Book Club meets at 7 p.m. in the Church Library at Our Lady of Sorrorws, on the second and fourth Thursday of the month. The table below shows which chapters should be read before each meeting:
March 26 Living the Mass, Acknowledgements & Introduction, Chapter 1, and Chapter 2 April 9
