Revised Roman Missal: Resources
(updated 07/12/11)
On the First Sunday of Advent (November 26-27, 2011), we will begin using the 3rd Edition of the Roman Missal. In our diocesan publication "Christ is Our Hope," as well as other sources, you've been given some background and details on the Revised Roman Missal. Through our parish website, we'll be providing you links to additional resources to give you a broader understanding of the theology behind the changes, as well as the actual wording changes. The impending implementation of the Revised Roman Missal gives all of us an opportunity to deepen our understanding of liturgy, as well as look at the Mass through new eyes of faith!
This page will be updated on a regular basis, even beyond the November 2011 implementation date. Check back often as we add resources!
