New Roman Missal (Cathedral of Christ The King) at 299 Colony Blvd, Lexington, KY 40502 US - Home
Your home for Information about the new English translation of the Roman Missal that will be used beginning on the First Sunday of Advent, 2011
Beginning on the First Sunday of Advent, 2011 the entire English-speaking Catholic Church (the Roman/Latin Rite) will begin using a new English tranlsation of the 3rd Edition of the Roman Missal. This is the document which contains the approved prayers, rubrics and readings that we use at all of our Masses and other liturgies.
This site has been established to help our parish become familiar with the new translation, why it was done, and to assist everyone in being comfortable as we begin using the new texts at Mass. The material here is organized in such a way you can quickly find the information and answers you need.
We hope the resources and materials here will help you gain a new appreciation for what the Mass is truly all about and how these new texts will help us have a richer, more abundant experience of the Mass.
Vatican II called all Catholics to a full, active and conscious participation in the Mass. This new translation of the Roman Missal gives us a golden opportunity to do just that. This is an exciting time for the Church and we hope this site will help you be prepared, comfortable and excited to experience the new Mass texts as we enter Advent 2011.
Make this a family and friends learning experience. Create time to share these resources and discuss the new texts with a goal of gaining not only familiarity with them, but also a greater and deeper appreciation of the gift God has given us in the Mass.
