Title
Skyscraper: Chaplain Personalizes English Mass; Fuses Liturgy to Contemporary Man
Description
Diane Sargol writes in the student newspaper, Skyscraper, that Reverend Donald Rooney, a Navy chaplain stationed at the Great Lakes Naval Base, included several touches that made the Mass more meaningful to modern Catholics. These included having a discussion instead of a sermon following the Gospel, addressing each person by name while administering the sacrament of Communion and adjusting the call and response at the end of the Mass from one that was formulaic to one in which the priest urged celebrants to carry the word of Christ into the world and celebrants were recommended to respond with "Okay" to "I really will."
