Draw Near -
a Guide to Mass"Draw Near" began as a response to requests from the Pastoral Council, priests, parish ministers and people of the Archdiocese of Chicago for a simple and practical way to understand and explain the Mass. The "Draw Near" video, explores the structure of the Mass overall, its particular parts and their meaning. The video utilizes the ritual as people experience it in order to foster deeper understanding and appreciation, and reflects not only the Archdiocese of Chicago, but also the many communities of faith where the Eucharist is celebrated.
