Adaptations are Coming to the Mass in Advent 2011

On the First Sunday of Advent in 2011, the Catholic Church throughout the English-speaking world will be celebrating the Eucharistic Liturgy using a new translation. You will see and experience adaptations to the Mass.

St. Patrick is committed to properly prepare our community for these modifications to the Liturgy. Throughout the year there will be bulletin articles, information on the parish website, classes, and teachings at Mass on the changes in the Liturgy.

An excellent resource to read on your own time about these adaptations is a website by the Catholic Bishops of the United States. http://www.usccb.org/romanmissal
This website will provide information about the changes in the Mass and why they are occurring.
