*In the event of a funeral or wedding Mass, the daily Mass will be cancelled.
The prayers of the Mass focus on the four finalities of the Holy Sacrifice: Adoration, Thanksgiving, Atonement, and Petition. The actions of the priest and servers, the incense rising to Heaven, and the use of Gregorian chant elevate the soul toward God and the Real Presence.
All Masses are said ad orientem; the priest faces liturgical east when praying to God on our behalf. [View the video on the significance of ad orientem]
