First Mass
The term refers to the first
occasion
a
Eucharistic
celebration
takes
place. There are two
natural
contexts
to its use:
Historical
, which would be the first occasion where a
Mass
is celebrated in a particular place, such as the
First Mass in the Philippines
.
Personal
, this term is used for the first occasion at which a newly
ordained
Catholic priest
presides at a Mass. While
clearly
a
special
moment
in that man's
life
, particular
blessings
take place on this occasion.
