| Changes in
the Parts of the People in the Revised Order of the Mass in
the Roman Missal, Third Edition
The US Conference of Catholic Bishops
will review and vote on the final sections of the new translation
of the third edition of the Roman Missal in November, 2009.
Once they approve it, it will be sent to Rome for the recognitio
from the Congregation for Divine Worship and the Discipline
of the Sacraments. Upon its receipt, publishers estimate approximately
one year for publication and distribution of the text. The Secretariat
of Divine Worship wishes to emphasize that now is the time to
begin the formation of priest and faithful to receive the forthcoming
Missal.
For the next several months, or until the
new Missal is published, I wish to prepare you for the new translation.
Materials used will be directly from the USCCB NewsLetter. Hopefully,
somewhere in the near future, I will conduct special meetings/classes
on these changes so that you may have an opportunity to understand
more clearly what is to come. Our first few editions will explore
changes in the parts of the People in the Revised Order of the
Mass, as approved by the USCCB in June, 2006 and confirmed by
the Holy See in June, 2008.
The following changes have been approved
and confirmed by the Holy See:
