Sunday Experience

If you're not from Lansing and can't come to St. Gerard (or even if you are from Lansing and just don't want to), there are tons of Catholic parishes, in Michigan, the United States, and the world. To find another Catholic church on Sunday, wherever you happen to be, visit www.masstimes.org.

Everything that happens at St. Gerard flows from and points back to the Sunday Experience, also called Mass. If you have never been to a Catholic Mass before, consider this your formal invitation!  We would love to see you here on Sunday, no matter where you are in your journey of faith (and you may find this Catholic Vocabulary helpful). There is always room for you at St. Gerard.

I will lift up the cup of salvation and call on the name of the Lord!   
Psalm 116:13

Now, the first time you attend Mass, you may feel a bit out of place. This is normal, it happens everytime we try something brand new. So don't worry if you don't know the responses or exactly when to sit, stand, kneel, etc. The Catholic Mass is rooted in thousands of years of Tradition and it takes awhile to get used to it.

Don't worry about it...really!

Just know that every part of Mass is designed to help you pray and encounter God.
