Mike Jones Worked on New DVD on Mass:  As I was walking down the steps after the novice class today, I asked Mike Jones about anything new with his work.  He works with Good News Ministries.  He said, “Yes, we have just finished a new 75-minute DVD on the Mass and the New Roman Missal.”   Here is a 9-minute introduction to the new DVD.  The DVD Features Father Rick Hilgartner, Executive Director of the Secretariat of Divine Worship at the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB), and several other well-know priests. A supplemental Discussion Guide is also available for groups studying the Mass.
