My Copy of the New Roman Missal Has Arrived!

Joe Paprocki Liturgy and Sacraments

Here it is, folks! After months and months of talking about it, my personal copy of the new Roman Missal arrived today! It’s like Christmas in November for a liturgical/catechetical dork like me! 🙂

Hopefully, you and your parish have been preparing for the implementation of the new translation of the Third Edition of the Roman Missal. Here are some resources that will be of help to you if you’re looking to do some last-minute preparation:

BTW, the Roman Missal pictured above is the chapel version, meaning it’s the smaller version. The one that will be used in most churches at Sunday Mass is much bigger…the altar servers will need to practice lifting weights!

Even so, catechists should always offer an inviting expectation that weekend Mass attendance is the norm. Here are some simple strategies. 1. Teach the importance of Sunday. We all know the Third Commandment: “Remember to keep holy the Sabbath day.” Read from Pope John Paul […]

  1. That is WAY COOL!

    Our parish had seminars in Spring and Summer, and has been easing into the new trans since September, so it was no sweat last Sunday.

    The kids have been hearing the new trans in my class since 2010, so I suppose that helped them out as well (those whose parents actually take them to Mass).

    Sorry to be such an idiot (it’s a tough job, but…) Is the Chapel version (a good size I think for two to share and still see the print) a correct collection and presentation of all the Prayers Proper for the People in the Pews?

    Isn’t there a fundamental difference in contents between the so called Daily Missal and these Altar and Chapel versions?

    What do I want to order so we can read all the propers and the ordinary at arms length?

    Thanks loads!

    • Ken, I’m pretty sure it’s the same content, just a different size. But don’t take my word for it…I got the chapel version because it’s the cheapest one! Best bet is to talk to someone at the publishing house such as Liturgy Training Publications.
