Is there a version of the Thelemic Mass suitable for public view?

Absolutely. Our NY Temple has been doing it periodically for years.
Although the scripts circulated to members performing it have slightly more information in a few key points, for all intents and purposes it's exactly the version given as Example No. 10 in 776 1/2.

Is there a pdf of that? I ask because MItchell Nolte (www.facebook.com/Mitchellnoltear) expressed to me an interest in our female gnostic saints list. He's made an illustration featuring the saints from the Gnostic Mass and I think he may be thinking of updating it.

We never circulate PDFs of things like that to the public, but here's the list and the surrounding paragraphs. (When I said there was a version for public viewing, I meant that the ritual was suitable for public viewing, not the script.)
Mother of Fertility on whose breast lieth water, whose cheek is caressed by air, and in whose heart is the Sun’s fire, womb of all life, recurring grace of seasons, answer favorably the prayer of labor, and to pastors and husbandmen be thou propitious. With love we honor them that did of old adore Thee and manifest thy VICTORY unto the world:
Shekinah, Shakti, Sophia, Athena, Iymma, Isis, and Hé Kokkiné Guné. With these also: Sappho, Hypatia, Medea, Miriam, Fatimah, and Guenevere; Joan of Arc, Hildegard von Bingen, Caterina Benincasa, Teresa of Ávila, Mother Teresa of Calcutta, and Rebecca Cox Jackson, who bore the labarum of Light through the darkness. And these also: Eva von Buttlar, Helena Petrovna Blavatsky, Ida Craddock, Anandamoyi Ma, and Vivian Godfrey Barcynski; “Anna Sprengel,” Florence Farr, Violet Firth, and Ann Davies, who nurtured a Golden Dawn; Rose Edith Crowley, Leah Hirsig, Sarah Jane Wolfe, and Phyllis Evelina Seckler –
O Boundless ecstasy of the Naught, who gathereth the Blood of all saints into thy Cup! With all thy Daughters of the Sangraal, we honor and love Her that is above, within, and about us. May thine Essence be here measureless, mystical, mysterious, and maternal to manifest this feast.
