The Mass: Study and Leader Guide

Probe more deeply into Bishop Barron’s message using the The Mass companion Study Guide, which also includes the Leader Guide.

Each workbook features a matte finish that is soft to the touch, non-glare, and scuff-resistant. Its flat binding is both sturdy and sleek, sure to withstand many uses, as well as look elegant on your bookshelf.

Each lesson in the Guide provides detailed commentary on Bishop Barron’s video and “Questions for Understanding" based on the video, Scripture, and the Catechism of the Catholic Church. The “Questions for Application" in each lesson aids in connecting the material to our own lives and experiences.

The study commentary was written by Elizabeth Scalia, a popular author, editor, and speaker, under the direction of Bishop Barron.  Ms. Scalia is also a Benedictine oblate and managing editor of the Catholic Portal at Patheos.com.

 Participants read the commentary in their Study Guide and prepare the questions before the small group discussion. This preparation can be accomplished either before or after viewing the video.
