Diocese Moves Ahead with Plans for the Revised Roman Missal


Once the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops receives the final text from the Vatican they will begin to work with the publishers to prepare the Missal for publication.



Since the Missal contains such a vast array of texts, the publication process is expected to take up to one year. The exact time for implementation has yet to be determined by the US Bishops although it is anticipated to be Advent of 2011.Use of the prayers of the Missal at Mass is prohibited until the approved date.

In order to begin preparations to implement the Roman Missal Bishop Bradley will convene a group of leaders, the Roman Missal Planning Team, on June 30 to begin the process in earnest. These leaders represent the various ministries which serve our Church throughout South West Michigan.

Bishop Bradley’s hope is that the Roman Missal Planning Team will articulate an overall strategy for the implementation of the Third Edition of the Roman Missal, identify goals and establish the 18 month time line to prepare for implementation. The work of the Planning Team will then be handed over to a different group of leaders, the Implementation Team, which will assist the priests and parish leaders with the process for implementation over the next 18 months.

For more information about the Roman Missal project you can visit the website of the US Bishops at  usccb.org/romanmissal or the Federation of Diocesan Liturgical Commissions at fdlc.org  or call the Diocesan Office of Christian Worship at 269-903-0193.
