 FROM THE DIRECTOR

Todd Williamson

    The New English translation of the third edition of the Roman Missal has been launched! Without doubt, this was a profound moment in the life of every parish not only in this Archdiocese of Chicago, but throughout the United States of America. For, as of the first Sunday of Advent (November 26/27), we started to lift our hearts to the Lord in praise and thanks with words different than we used to use.

     The Committee on Divine Worship of the USCCB has recently offered clarification in regard to those parts of the Roman Missal that are also part of other Liturgical Rites.

NAVIGATING THE THIRD EDITION OF THE ROMAN MISSAL

    In an effort to assist priests and liturgical ministers, the dioceses of the Federation of Diocesan Liturgical Commissions (FDLC) Region VII (dioceses of Illinois and Indiana) have developed a series of “charts” aimed at summarizing key points / differences of the new Roman Missal. These charts will be organized according to Liturgical Season, and will point out changes in terminology and other elements of the seasonal Masses, direct one on where to find particular elements of the Mass (e.g., the Preface for a Solemnity or Feast, when that preface is not included in the “Preface Section” of the Missal), and highlight other pieces of information that will help one “navigate” through the new Missal. We hope these “quick references” are helpful.
