Why do we call the Mass, “the Mass”?

Hello all,

My article here was published in the May 2022 issue of the Vermont Catholic Magazine. I am re-posting it here and now, because I have a “part II” in the next Vermont Catholic Magazine, fall edition.

Please read on. It is not very long.

Why do we call the Mass, ‘the Mass’?

I will share the upcoming article (same topic) when it is posted online. We all ought to know and appreciate more of the theology and history behind this most extraordinary, nearly-unbelievable way that Christ is present and at work in our world!

In Christ, Fr. Tim Naples
