Navigating Life Podcast brings you Navigating Faith: Understanding Catholic Mass - Part 1. We do this by sharing an episode I do on the Catholic Radio Network with Father James Kelleher.

From Attending to Participating: The Introductory Rites

This is the first in a four-part series exploring the biblical roots and deeper meaning of the Catholic Mass, based on conversations with Father James Kelleher, the Rosary Priest.
