WELCOME
to Mary Mother of Jesus Inclusive Catholic Community.
Here are some answers to questions often asked by visitors.
Here are some answers to questions often asked by visitors.
* Co-presiders
are usually an ordained priest and a community member.
* Our
liturgies follow the familiar two-part structure of the Catholic Mass.
The Liturgy of
the Word:
Readings are usually taken from the Lectionary,
although other inspired sources are also used. The
Gospel reading is followed by a “homily starter” which serves as an
invitation to the community to share their thoughts
on the topic.
The Liturgy of
the Eucharist: This becomes a “family meal” as everyone
is invited to stand around the altar and to take part in the
Eucharistic Prayer, the Consecration, and Communion. Alcohol-free
wine is used. People may
drink from the cup or
dip their bread in the wine – whichever they prefer.
* We
use inclusive language, referring to God by multiple names and avoiding gender-specific
terms, oppressive/dominating terms, etc. For a detailed explanation of inclusive language, see
the handout on the Information Table.
*
If you are visiting MMOJ for the first time, there will be an opportunity for
you to introduce yourself near the end of the Liturgy.
Once
again, WELCOME. We are happy to have you join us!
