'I think it's important that the Catholic church is not only putting out good teachings and good theology but also putting really good content as well. We're seeing Netflix producing their own video and TV shows and we're seeing all of these companies putting out these really great commercials. But, I also believe that Catholic church should be putting out really creative and dynamic content as well.â?
Jesse Weiler is the assistant director of media and communications at the Liturgical Institute of the University of Saint Mary of the Lake. Jesse along with Fr. Douglas Martin, former Director of the Liturgical Institute have collaborated on 'Elements of the Catholic Mass.â?

'I think there is a common stigma among Catholics that young adults and Millennials don't want to go to Mass because it's boring. When I've had conversations with other young adults about liturgy and the things that I've learned, they've gotten very interested in Mass and they told me that it's helped them understand what they are doing at the Mass.â?
Currently, 'Elements of the Catholic Massâ? has 31 short episodes that average about about 2-5 minutes in length. The videos are free and be used as a reference point for personal faith formation or group discussion.
