I want to see what a Catholic Mass service booklet looks compared to the Lutheran church. That is, the booklet that shows something like:

(This is from the Lutheran Worship Service)
Organ music while everyone fills in, and the acolytes light the candles.
Pastoral Welcome and Announcements (We also “Greet our neighbors”, which started maybe 10 years ago).
Brief Order of Confession & Forgiveness
Gathering Hymn
Kyrie
Hymn of Praise (“Glory to God in the Highest”)
Prayer of the Day
Hymn (sometimes - or choir in the early morning service)
First Reading
Psalms (sometimes… they haven’t done it in awhile, so I don’t know which order it went in)
Second Reading
Gospel
Sermon
Hymn
Apostles’ Creed
Prayers and Blessings (“Lord, Hear our prayer”)
Offering
(we used to the Doxology, but not anymore for some reason)
Hymn (or choir in the early morning service)
Words of Institution
Lord’s Prayer (and we don’t hold hands!)
Worship Service Book hymn - “Lamb of God, you take away the sins of the world…”
Communion
(we used to sing 4 hymns, but church attendence is small - especially at the 8:15 service)
Benediction
Sending Hymn
Dismissal (“Go in Peace, Serve the Lord!” “Thanks be to God!”)
Acolytes extinguish the candles after 2 verses into the final hymn.

What’s the Catholic mass version?
 
You can get a copy of the Missal in any church pew…it will give you all the readings, hymns and order of the Mass.
 
I know, but since I don’t go to a Catholic Church (I go to a Lutheran one), I can’t get one. I was just seeing if there was an online copy.

Well even though you are Lutheran…we still allow you to enter the Church:D

I do not think there is an online version…but perhaps you can do a google search

I know, but my parents on the other hand (long story… I’m 29 but still live at home, and I don’t drive - I posted about it elsewhere) they won’t even step foot inside of a Catholic Church unless it’s a family event (someone getting married, or baptised).

I’ve been trying with google, but haven’t found anything yet - gotta go to work now, though.

Umm…you just walk in by yourself unless your parents drive you everywhere and look at the missal…look at my previous post I did include two links…

A good Catholic bookstore will have this - ask for a missal. I think you will find it to be quite similar.
 
for about 3-4 dollars you can get an annual St Joseph Sunday missal from most Catholic publishers on-line, try leafletmissal.com or autom.com which has the order of the Mass plus the readings for each Sunday of the Year. the hard-cover Daily Roman Missal or St Joseph Missal (same book, different publishers) is 40-50 bucks but is good for a lifetime.

Celebrating the Mass by Fr. McBride from Our Sunday Visitor
also has the order of the Mass

you will find it is almost identical to the Lutetheran liturgy you describe, perhaps with some changes in timing of hymns and presider’s prayers.
