Slide thumbnailDan’s talk on the Mass is as entertaining as it is educational! With a dash of humor, he tells stories about his childhood growing up with his brother and over-protective Cuban mother—a woman with a profound faith, a heart of gold, and an iron grip—who was determined to drag her two sons to church every Sunday, even if it meant pulling them by their ears!

He’ll share his collegiate reversion to the faith which led to his love of the liturgy, his writing of the book Mass Explained, and his desire to share what he’s learned with anyone who will listen.From Dragged to Devoted

Slide thumbnail“In this time of Eucharistic Revival, Dan Gonzalez’s talks on The Mass Explained are absolutely essential. His dynamic presentations allow the faithful to enter more fully into the Divine Mysteries we celebrate every day at the altar of Our Lord. So many walk away from these talks with not only a deeper appreciation and understanding of the Mass, but hungering even more for the Eucharistic Lord."—Father Manny Alvarez, Pastor, Church of the Little Flower
Slide thumbnailDan begins his presentation on the Mass by discussing the 1913 International Exhibition of Modern Art, the development of one-point linear perspective, and the rules for a complete catch in the National Football League.

His talk includes mention of the lunar landing, an homage to the Hunchback of Notre Dame, and copious references to Star Wars. These seemingly incongruous topics are seamlessly integrated into an enlightening and entertaining exploration of the Mass and its parts.MAKING STELLAR CONNECTIONSBUY THE BOOKSEE INTRO VIDEOSCHEDULE A TALK
