Why Catholic? and the Third Edition of the Roman Missal:

In Advent 2011, the Third Edition of the Roman Missal will be introduced for use in our parish, our diocese, our universal church - replacing the Second Edition. With this new text, you will experience change - not in the Mass itself but in the words prayed by the priest and the faithful. There is more to come on how we can prepare. We are planning to use Lifting up Our Hearts - Praying with the Third Edition of the Roman Missal from RENEW International in Small Christian Communities. This is an opportunity for us to focus our attention on the liturgy and refresh ourselves in the gift of the Eucharist and its deep meanings and to learn and prayer with what is new. Participating in a Small Christian Community is one path to knowing, embracing, and sharing the changes and your faith. Consider being part of a small group that will gather in six weekly sessions (beginning the week of Oct 9, 2011) and talk about the changes and our experience of Eucharist.
