In this West Catholic Live Podcast, co-chaplain Father Robert Mulderink delivers a special "Teaching Mass" to students at West Catholic High School.

Recorded on March 22, 2022, Father Robert breaks down the Mass into three parts, and challenges students to learn why we as Catholics do the things we do during the Mass. He says there are "many things that are happening, and often times you don't understand them." He compares Mass to a foreign language. He adds that it's also a language of "postures, of gestures, of places and even of garments."

Fr. Robert's last day with the students was May 31. He was appointed administrator of St. Luke University Parish in Allendale.

West Catholic Live airs every Wednesday during the school year on West Catholic's Facebook page and YouTube Channel.
