The New Roman Missal
For many people, change does not come easy. Change requires us to stop doing things a certain way in order to do something else. Many people and comfort in familiar routines and known ways of acting. Change interrupts those familiar routines. But change is also an opportunity to stop and reflect on what we are doing and to come to a better understanding of God, who does not change.
On this page you will find a growing number of resources available for you to grow, reflect, understand and learn the changes that are happening. Challenge yourself to a renewed vision of the Mass and how each part has changed. We will all learn together as ONE, HOLY, CATHOLIC and APOSTOLIC community.
Many of our Faith Formation classes from youth to adult will include some component of teaching about the New Roman Missal.
