A number of parishioners have and will attend the scheduled diocesan workshops on the changes that are coming to the words used at Mass as given in the Roman Missal , beginning with the first Sunday of Advent of this year.  The Roman Missal  is a collection of prayers and rites which are used for the liturgies of the Church, including the celebration of Mass.

The workshops [go to www.diobr.org for more information] focus on the principles of Catholic worship that are not changing, how we pray the liturgy, non verbally and verbally, and a look at the actual changes to the wording at Mass which will affect what we say when we pray. The Parish Adult Faith Formation Committee is currently working on a timeline of implementation of the new Roman Missal in our parish
