Quick Tips

Cultural Exchange

Table of Contents

Does your church or a nearby one offer Mass in a different language? Attend it one Sunday and see how it is similar to and different from the Mass you are used to. After Mass, discuss with the priest, and perhaps some members of the church, these differences. End the day by going out for dinner and having a meaningful cultural experience with the priest and some parishioners. This sort of day is a valuable way to show how Mass is celebrated differently in different cultures, and to find similarities that you did not think existed before.
