On the
First Sunday of Advent, 2011, Roman Catholics in the United States
began praying the Eucharistic Liturgy using the third edition of the
Roman Missal. This webpage is dedicated to assisting our communities in
the work of implementing the new Missal. While a great deal of
catechesis has already taken place, our task is just beginning. As we
grow into this new Missal, we will be called to a deeper appreciation
of and engagement in the liturgy. Mystagogy is a life-long undertaking.Click on the Missal to visit our Missal Q&A webpage!

Catechetical Resources
Articles
| This series of articles was originally published in the Catholic Messenger, and included such topics as a look at liturgical languages and the process of translation, an exploration of concerns regarding the new translation as well as what we are gaining with the new translation, and an introduction to the texts for the Order of Mass--explaining what has changed and why. With the advent of the revised Order of Mass (2010), the collection of articles has been updated. | |
| Originally published by the Catholic Messenger, this second series of 16 articles by Deacon Agnoli is intended to help us better understand what we are doing at Mass, to enter the mystery more fully, and to celebrate the liturgy actively and artfully. The articles cover the parts of the Mass in order. | |
| A comparison of the changes between the 2008 and 2010 Orders of Mass. | |

Diocese of Fort Wayne-South Bend, Indiana Catechist's Guide to the New Translation (Diocese of Lansing, MI) |
|
|
This resource is a web-based equivalent of the Become One Body, One Spirit in Christ DVD-ROM, but for children from grades K-12. While produced in Australia, most of the site's content applies to life in the US as well... and the minor differences offer a great opportunity for talking about how in a universal Church there is room for a local diversity that enriches all of us. |
| And other resources... for teens, parents, and youth ministers.... | |
|
These new resources are from Maureen Kelly: |
-What's New About the Mass (for 3rd-7th grades) -What's New About the Mass Teaching Edition: Handbook for Teachers and Catechists -What's New About the Mass for Teens -What's New About the Mass for Teens Teaching Edition: Handbook for Teachers and Catechists |
| Gerard Moore's book for 2nd through 5th graders has been updated with the new texts, and a teacher's guide is also available. | |
| While it predates the new Missal, the change in language will not diminish the utility of this excellent resource. This book is now back in print and available from RCL-Benziger. | |
| Part of the Center for Ministry Development, this site offers downloadable materials for catechetical sessions. Their program for the Roman Missal -- "Our Call to Worship" -- can be used in intergenerational as well as peer group settings. Parishes can join for a 30-day free trial, but the annual subscription is only $150. | |
| A number of resources to help parents and catechists prepare children for the new Missal. | |

| Mystical Body, Mystical Voice: Encountering Christ in the Words of the Mass |
As an initiative of the Liturgical Institute at the University of Saint Mary of the Lake and LTP, this book uses the texts of the third typical edition of the Roman Missal to illustrate how the liturgy is enriched and the Church's understanding of the Second Vatican Council is deepened through the translation of the Missal. This book is not simply a guide that explains the revised texts as if we were simply changing the words we say at Mass; rather, it seizes the opportunity of the promulgation of third typical edition of the Roman Missal as a valuable vehicle for liturgical catechesis. Click here for podcasts. |
| National Association of Pastoral Musicians |
NPM has posted numerous resources for helping parishes implement the new missal Chants of the Missal, including both PDFs and MP3 recordings of each sung item in the Missal.

"We have divided the Mass into 25 parts and we have made a video for each one. Each video [about 3 minutes long] explains the meaning, purpose, and background on a part of the Mass, explains pertinent scriptural references, and includes personal stories from parishioners. We will also tell you if there are changes in the words for that part of the Mass because of the new translation of the Roman Missal coming in Advent of 2011." The videos are also being published as a set by The Liturgical Press. |

| U.S. Jesuits | To help Jesuits throughout the U.S. to prepare for the new translation of the Roman Missal, Jesuit Father John Baldovin, Professor of Historical & Liturgical Theology at Boston College’s School of Theology and Ministry, was asked to give a presentation explaining the historical background of the Roman Missal, with a brief overview of the changes in this translation along with some ideas for faithful ministers of the church to engage this new translation responsibly and use it as well as possible. His video presentation, Ihe New Roman Missal: Challenge & Opportunity, appears in five parts on the Jesuit website. |
