Another answer

The Catholic Mass is generally divided into two large segments: the Mass of the Catechumens; and the Mass of the Faithful.

The Mass of the Faithful consists of an introductory rite, a penitential rite, the recitation of the Kyrie, on Sundays and major feasts the recitation of the Gloria, and then the collect/prayer of the day.

The Liturgy of the Word is carried out during this part of the mass, it directly follows the Opening Prayer of the day. There are three readings and a psalm on Sundays and major feasts, and two readings and a psalm on weekdays. The gospel follows, directly preceded by the recitation of the Alleluia (proper for the day).

After the gospel the Priest delivers the homily, and the congregation recites the Creed (on Sundays and major feasts).

At this point, the Mass of the faithful begins. It consists of the offertory rites, offertory procession where the gifts are presented to the priest. Then begins the Canon, the Eucharistic prayer, beginning with a proper preface, followed by the recitation of the Sanctus (holy, holy holy...). In the midst of this, the priest begins the institution narrative (The night before he was given up to death he took bread...). This is the point where Transubstantiation occurs.

The Eucharistic prayer ends with the doxology (through him, with him, in him...) and the great Amen. After this the Communion Rite begins. Here is recited the Lord's Prayer ("Our Father"), the fraction of the host, and the reception of holy communion. And finally after all that has been done, the priest dismisses the people. "The mass is ended, Go in peace to love and serve the Lord."
