So, you've been to the Catholic Church for the first time, what now?
By De Maria
You took the plunge, you went to the nearest Catholic Church. But you didn’t take my advice. It was too intimidating to follow all those people in. So, you did a little reconnaissaince.

Sacristans: Stage Managers of The Mass

As a 15 year veteran of the stage and theatre world, I see the daily Mass not only from a Catholic parishioner’s perspective but also through the eyes of a performance professional. Offending anyone with the notion that our sacred liturgies are nothing more than mere farce or spectacle, is not my intention.
