The Mass

There are 2 basic ​types of Mass:

​The Latin Rite {which is Vaticanium I} and Novus Ordo {which is Vaticanium II}. They are also known as the Extraordinary and the Ordinary Form.

​The Latin Mass is also known as the Trinidine Rite. Usually, the celebrant is facing the altar, and the celebrant also says the entire mass in Latin.

​Novus Ordo in Latin means "New Order". Usually, the priest faces the people and also says the mass in English or Spanish.

The Novus Ordo ​

​Communion is one of the Seven Sacraments. It is the most important part of the Mass. It is when you receive the Body and Blood of Christ.
