Are You Allowing the Holy Spirit In?

Featured Link: The New Roman Missal
The English translation of the Mass will be undergoing changes in the future and the new text, worked on for 10 years by the bishops, has finally been approved by the Vatican. The text for the Mass will be more faithful to the Latin and more reverent and prayerful. These are exciting changes that many people have waited so long for. “The use of the third edition of the Roman Missal enters into use in the dioceses of the United States of America as of the First Sunday of Advent, November 27, 2011. From that date forward, no other edition of the Roman Missal may be used in the dioceses of the United States of America.”
To learn more about these changes go to the USCCB's Roman Missal Website.
