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: |
