Welcoming the New Roman Missal
For over a year we’ve been talking about the changes that are coming in the prayers we use at Mass.  On November 27 we joined the Church throughout this country in welcoming the new translation of the Roman Missal. Getting to know new words will take effort and patience, but soon enough they will become just as familiar and beloved to us as the present words.  To assist with the transition, the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops have provided some valuable handouts that explain the changes. Links are found below:
