Why do we Attend Mass?
 Why Do We Attend Mass?
 1.
Mass is the core of our faith and it is where we come
to know Jesus Christ and gather as a community.
 2. At Mass, we re-enact the Last Supper, as Jesus said
to his disciples, “do this in memory of me”.
 3. We attend to strengthen our relationship and prayer
life with Christ.
 4. To receive the Body and Blood of Christ (our
spiritual nourishment).
 What are your personal reasons for attending and
participating in the mass?
