Basic quantity of physics and the resistance of an object to a change in motion in response to an external force.

High Mass or “Grand Mass” is sung by choristers, and celebrated with the assistance of a deacon and sub-deacon.

often defined as the amount of matter in an object. Note that mass and weight are not the same thing. Weight is the force on an object due to the gravitational pull of a planet or other heavenly body. Mass on the other hand, remains constant, no matter where it is.
