Diocesan Implementation
Program
Other Resources
The USCCB Bishop's Committee on Divine Worship has created a website that will help us become prepared for the revised translation of the Roman Missal. This site will continually be expanded as more material is prepared. The site provides helpful resources for the faithful, for the clergy, and for parish and diocesan leaders.
The Liturgical Training Publications has prepared a variety of materials to help prepare for the revised missal. Of note is set of pamphlets (8 in all) that will explain the changes in the different pars of the Mass.
The Notre Dame Center for Liturgy has prepared 6 hours of video presentation on the different aspects of the changes we will face when the translation of the Roman Missal is implemented. Most of these videos are only 15 minutes long. They are presented by Msgr. Bruce Harbert, Fr. Anthony Ruff, OSB, Fr. Paul Turner, and Sr. Joyce Ann Zimmerman, C.PP.S.
The Federation of Diocesan Liturgical Commissions offers workshops, study papers, workshop leader kits, pamphlets and other materials to help prepare for the new Roman Missal.
Renewing the Celebration of the Eucharist: Considerations in Light of the Revised GIRM
This presentation by Rev. Jeffrey M. Kemper (Mount St. Mary's Seminary, Cincinnati) was originally written in 2003 to address the question of liturgical renewal in the context of implementing the new GIRM. With the release of the new Missal, the insights and advice that Fr. Kemper offers are as timely as ever.
Articles by Fr. Paul Turner
Fr. Turner is a pastor, author, and liturgist--and serves as a facilitator for ICEL (International Commission on English in the Liturgy - one of the groups responsible for translating the Missal). This link will take you to his website, where you will find a number of articles about the new Missal.
Talks by Msgr. James Moroney
From the CatholicTV website, a series of three talks that Msgr. Moroney gave to the priests of his home diocese in Massachusetts. The talks are titled: "What's New in the New Roman Missal", "A New Translation: Why and How", and "A Higher Register: Translation and Proclamation.“
This site is a product of Liturgical Training Publications and contains a wealth of resources including pastor letters, bulletin inserts, sample homilies, articles and podcasts. The resources are free, but you do have to register. Check out the ‘Roman Missal’ and ‘Resources’ tabs.
