Our First Date – The New Roman Missal

Joe Paprocki

So this morning, we had our first date with the new Roman Missal and it was very much like a first date – filled with novelty, curiosity, and awkwardness.

Joe Paprocki

Thanks to my colleague Denise, here’s a resource for catechists to use to implement the new translation of the Roman Missal.
