This is an exciting time as we prepare to welcome the Third Edition of the Roman Missal. Over the coming months, parishioners across the country and around the world will begin learning the new translation of the mass in preparation for its implementation in Advent 2011.
As a parish we will have to learn new prayers, a new Gloria, a new Creed, and new responses. The changes are fairly significant, and for that reason, we will be hosting a series of information nights (dates and times will be in next week’s bulletin) to introduce you to the changes. This is an excellent opportunity to come and learn why the Mass is changing and what those changes will be.
Plus, keep reading the bulletin for other opportunities to learn more about the new translation of the mass.
