Best Answer
Roman Catholic AnswerThe canon in the Mass is the Eucharistic Prayer which is the essential part of the Sacrifice of the Mass.

from A Catholic Dictionary, edited by Donald Attwater, Second edition, revised 1957

The Canon of the Mass is the fundamental part of the Mass beginning with the Te igitur after the Sanctus and ending with the Great Amen before the Pater noster. It's form is fixed, except for the prayers Communicantes and Hanc ignitur [note: in the post Vatican II Mass, there are four canons available for the priest to choose from].

Can a non-Catholic present the offering at a Catholic Mass?

I do not believe that Canon Law forbids it; however, pious Catholics would object to the gifts being presented at Mass for consecration to be presented by a non-Catholic (who knows what they believe). If, however, the people were in the RCIA program (studying to become Catholics), it would be acceptable. Here is a link with information on the Code of Canon Law regarding the Holy Eucharist.
