Eucharistic Revival: Walk Through the Mass

29 Dec 2022 | Posted by: chadmin

“Why is the Mass so important? Why do we stand, sit, and kneel at specific times during the Mass? Where did the prayers we say at Mass come from? When does Jesus actually become present in his Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity? How do I pray better at Mass? These are just some of the many questions parishioners have asked me through the years. They’re really great questions! The goal of this series is to explore the most common things Catholics want to know about the Mass.” — Fr. Luke Spannagel

Fr. Luke may be familiar to St. Philomena parishioners as he is in residence here and helps with Mass and confession as his schedule permits. Fr. Luke is a National Eucharistic Preacher. “The National Eucharistic Preachers are a diverse group of priests who have been commissioned to enkindle the flame of eucharistic faith and devotion in the United States through kerygmatic eucharistic preaching. ” (www.eucharisticrevival.org/national-eucharistic-preachers)
