Presentation about Catholic Mass set tonight

Catholic Mass will be celebrated at 9 tonight
in the Odvin Hagen Music Center Recital Hall.
Catholic Mass.

For some people, it may be a worship service as familiar to them as walking. For others, Mass may be something they have heard about but never really experienced or understood.

Tonight, the Rev. Dennis Miller will offer an introductory talk about Mass, what it is, what it means and why it is celebrated. The presentation will begin at 8:30 p.m. in the Odvin Hagen Music Center Recital Hall. Mass will follow at 9 p.m. Miller will be available after Mass to answer any questions.

“It’s a great no-pressure opportunity to learn about something you may not know much about,” student Matt Knutson said.

Miller is the pastor of the six Catholic parishes in Winnebago and Hancock counties. He lives in the rectory at St. James Church in Forest City and visits the Waldorf campus each Thursday to celebrate Mass.

The event is sponsored by ACTS (Active Catholics to Serve), a worship group on campus that works to get Catholic students and others involved in Catholic traditions. The group meets at 9 p.m. Thursdays in the Recital Hall.
