CCCB to launch web site for new missal

OTTAWA - A new web site for the Canadian edition of the Roman Missal will help Catholics across Canada to understand the contents of the new book.

The web site can be found at www.romanmissal.ca.

Available this fall, the web site includes resources for preparing parish bulletins and workshops. It also has links to Roman Missal-related materials from the National Liturgy Office and the Publications Service of the Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops, who will be producing the missal.

Also, parishioners can access the web sites of Catholic dioceses across Canada concerning the Roman Missal as well as links from the Vatican and English-speaking conferences of bishops around the world.

The prefaces and other prayers for the Sundays of Advent from the CCCB edition will soon be posted. For musicians, there are links to recordings of the three settings for the Ordinary of the Mass composed specifically for Canada.

The Roman Missal will be implemented on the first Sunday of Advent on Nov. 27.
