DO YOU KNOW … Why a Catholic Church is laid out the way it is? What the different areas and objects mean? The background of the different celebrations? The history of the Church and the way things are
done now at Mass? Who can celebrate at Mass? What is our job as the congregation at Mass? Why are churches so intricately built? Why can’t Catholic churches be more simple? Why do they look so different to other churches? Where do they get the design? Who is the owner of the church, the Pope?
