An unintimidating guide to understanding the Catholic Mass

Throughout the centuries, the liturgy of the Church has taken a
variety of regional and historical forms, but one thing has
remained constant: the Mass has always been the central form of
Catholic worship.

Catholic Mass For Dummies gives you a step-by-step
overview of the Catholic Mass, as well as a close look at the
history and meaning of the Mass as a central form of Catholic
worship. You'll find information on the order of a Mass and
coverage of major Masses.

* Covers standard Sunday Mass, weddings, funerals, holiday
services, and holy days of obligation

* Provides insight on the events, symbols, themes, history, and
language of the Mass

* Translations of a Mass in Castilian and Latin American
Spanish

If you're a Catholic looking to enhance your knowledge of your
faith, an adult studying to convert to Catholicism, a CCD
instructor, or a non-Catholic who wants to understand the many
nuances of the Catholic Mass, this hands-on, friendly guide has you
covered.
