Teaching the Roman Missal Changes – How’s it Going So Far?

Joe Paprocki Liturgy and Sacraments

Now that many catechetical programs are under way for the Fall of 2011, I thought it would be good to check back in and see where you are all at with teaching the Roman Missal changes to children and adults?

What have you done so far? What is your plan moving forward?

If you’re still looking for an approach to teaching the Roman Missal changes to children, be sure to take a look at my suggestion: Teaching the Roman Missal Changes to Children – Easy as 1, 2, 3!

I’m also happy to announce that my book (co-authored with Fr. Dom Grassi), Living the Mass: How One Hour a Week Can Change Your Life, is now available in its revised form, reflecting the Roman Missal changes.

While the book itself is not about the changes per se, it provides you with a great opportunity to teach about the changes within the context of teaching about the Mass as a whole.

Thanks to my colleague Denise, here’s a resource for catechists to use to implement the new translation of the Roman Missal. It’s from the Diocese of Lansing, MI, and it is quite thorough. http://www.dioceseoflansing.org/catechesis_k12/Roman_Missal_Children_Adolescents.pdf It basically constitutes a mini-curriculum on the Mass that would require 8 sessions. What I’m hearing from a lot of catechetical leaders, however, is that they are not planning on setting aside such large chunks of time from their regular curriculum (for […]
