Where can I find an online beginner's guide to Mass?

Hi everyone. Where can I find an online beginner’s guide to Mass aimed at adults? Any help you can provide will be greatly appreciated. I did a Google search but didn’t find anything.

Here’s what I found doing a search. Others might know of better sites.

Here is a guide to what happens during Mass. And here is a link with all the prayers and responses at Mass.

Thank you guys for the links. They were all very helpful.

Does anyone happen to have a link to an online video of a “teaching” Mass, like, the explanatory walk-through that you might get during RCIA? I do know about “The Catholic Mass… Revealed!” which is outstanding, but only available on DVD. I was hoping to have a link that I could send people to from the boards…

Go to this site and click on the “Mass and the Eucharist” booklet near the top of the page. Don’t forget to open the second link titled ‘cover’ - it’s beautiful.

I’m not a real big fan of that American Catholic description. It’s inaccurate, misleading, or ambiguous at times (such as calling the doxology at the end of the Eucharistic Prayer “a toast”, using phrases like “consecrated bread and wine” or “eucharistic bread” which can be understood the wrong way, and completely omitting in its description of the Eucharistic Prayer the offering of the Eucharist to God the Father).

The Archdiocese of Detroit had a couple of pretty good videos that they have so effectively buried on their site that it is nearly impossible to find them unless you are specifically looking for them.

And now the links are broken.

They are “Introduction to the Mass” and “Understanding the Mass” and at one point they could be found here as well as here.

I’ll see if I can find them elsewhere on the site. In the meantime I have emailed someone at the Archdiocese of Detroit and asked them to look into restoring the videos.

I received an incredibly fast response from the Archdiocese of Detroit. It appears the videos have been restored.

Go here and check out “Introduction to the Mass” and “Understanding the Mass”.
