Each new year brings with it a spirit of new life and change. This new year is no exception. Catholics will experience a significant change in the celebration of the Mass later this year. On the First Sunday of Advent, November 27, 2011, a new translation will be used in the celebration of Mass in English throughout the world. This new translation was recently approved by the Holy Father. While nothing has been changed in the manner in which the Mass is celebrated, the words of almost every prayer in the Mass have been altered.
Throughout this year, your parish will prepare for this new translation, helping all of us to become familiar with the new wording of the prayers. It will not be used until Advent, at which time all Masses celebrated in English will use the new translation.
