I have been fascinated by the Liturgy since my days of serving "Mass" in the Anglican Church. I'm definitely looking into this course!
From One Peter Five
By Aurelio Porfiri
Rome, August 5, 2025 — A new online course is now available to help Catholics rediscover the beauty, meaning, and power of the Church’s most sacred act: the Holy Mass. Titled The Catholic Mass, this innovative formation program is led by composer, author, and liturgical scholar Aurelio Porfiri, with the participation of esteemed guests including Abbot Philip Anderson, Dr. Edward Schaefer, Dr. Kevin Magas, Fr. Roberto Spataro, Dr. Robert Fastiggi, Aldo Maria Valli, Mons. Nicola Bux among others.
The course is a comprehensive introduction to the theology, history, spirituality, and aesthetics of the Catholic Mass, with particular attention to the richness of the Roman Rite. Through a series of 14 in-depth lessons, participants will be guided to understand not only the external structure of the liturgy but also its inner dynamism and mystical significance.
“If we want to renew the Church, we must first renew our understanding and celebration of the Holy Mass,” says Porfiri. “This course is for all who want to love the Mass more deeply and live it more fully.”
Highlights of the Course Include:
- A spiritual and theological exploration of each part of the Mass
- The role of silence, beauty, music, and sacred gestures
- Reflections on the traditional liturgy and its relevance today
- Insights from priests, theologians, musicians, and writers
- Practical guidance on how to interiorize and live the liturgy
This course is ideal for priests, seminarians, religious, liturgical ministers, catechists, educators, and laypeople who desire a deeper formation in the liturgical life of the Church.
How to Access the Course
While the course is hosted on an educational platform, all essential information — including how to enroll, detailed curriculum, and previews — is available at the official website:

Registration is now open. Access to the course is offered for a fee.
