Roman Missal

On August 23, 2010 the complete new translation of the Roman Missal was approved for use. The US bishops have set the 1st Sunday of Advent, 2011, for implementation of the new translation. This translation includes many changes that will seem strange to most.

There is a new blog started on the changes to the missal and the implementation of those changes. You can follow it at http://www.americamagazine.org/blog/entry.cfm?blog_id=2&entry_id=3200

Feasts and Saints and Martyrs, Oh My!

For those who regularly read this blog, welcome! It's been a long time since our last post, but I thought I would let everybody know of a new feature on washucsc.org which is located under the main homily video, entitled "Saints". It is a chronological listing of all Roman Catholic patron saints, martyrs, canonized popes, and other feast days throughout each liturgical calendar year. I get this information from various sources, both online and offline. My hope is to share this rich source of information and devotion with the community to increase awareness and the education of the Catholic faith.

As usual, if you would like to write for this blog either regularly or irregularly, please contact Jamey Stegmaier at stegmaier@washucsc.org.

Thanks again and enjoy!
