Catholic

Church

Reflection

Process

I.

Read

Sing

To

The

Lord:

Music

In

Divine

Worship

prior

to

church

visitation.

It

is

very

important

that

you

read

the

book

first!

It

will

serve

as

a

guide

for

your

observations.

II.

Attend

the

Catholic

church

of

your

choice.

You

may

attend

one

of

the

masses

on

campus

but

the

preference

is

to

attend

a

mass

in

a

dedicated

‘

worship

’

space.

III.

Take

notes

during

the

mass.

Try

to

find

that

delicate

balance

of

being

both

a

participant

and

observer.

If

you

are

Catholic,

try

to

observe

with

fresh

eyes

rather

than

go

through

the

motion.

In

fact,

you

may

want

to

attend

a

Mass

that

is

entirely

different

from

your

normal.

IV.

Collect

material

from

the

church:

bulletin,

liturgy

program,

photos

of

space

etc.

V.

Reflect

upon

your

experience

and

observations

in

a

4

page,

double-

spaced,

12

pt

paper.

VI.

Critical:

Draw

connections

between

material

in

the

book

and

your

own

observations

and

experiences.

CITE

page

and

paragraph

in

your

reflection.

Ex.

(page

15,

3

rd

paragraph)

VII.

Upload

supporting

documentation

(programs,

photos

etc.)

with

your

paper.
