The Mass began with a processional of the deacons and priest to the altar, followed by the greeting and opening prayer.

Muhammad Ali once said “Religions all have different names, but they all contain the same truths… I think people of our religion should be tolerant and understand people believe different things.” This quote explains the tolerance and acceptance of another religion, which clearly demonstrates the concept of pluralism.
