very sincere thanks for your generous response to the famine appeal last week end. If
you havenÕt yet made a contribution and would like to do so please mark your

Holy Water
We
have purchased a new Holy Water Barrel. It has a tap to make it easy to fill
your water bottles. It is placed
in the side porch (Church Lane Side).
You can get to it from the main body of the Church anytime the Church is
open. Please bring your own
bottle. Holy Water renews the grace of our Baptism.
Introducing
the New Missal – To assist our preparation for changes
in some of the words that we pray at Mass from September next, please see the
question and answer below. In
addition, you may wish to view the brief video and further explanations which
are now available on www.catholicbishops.ie. Related topics on the new edition of the Roman Missal are
also on www.liturgy-ireland.ie.
Is
the Mass changing?
The structure of the Mass is not changing. The
order and the actions of the Mass remain unchanged. The readings at Mass are
not changed. However, with the introduction of the new edition of the Roman
Missal throughout the English-speaking world, we will all notice a change in
how the Mass sounds. The translations of a number of our prayer texts from the
original Latin have changed – sometimes by a particular word or in the
word order. Prayers that we have become used to reciting by memory now have to
be relearned. Prayers that we are used to hearing the priest say will sound
different to us.
The style of language we will hear and pray may
seem more formal to us and perhaps, in parts, more complex. But over time, with
the praying of these texts, the sound of the Mass will again become familiar to
us.
What is the Roman
Missal?
The term ÔMissalÕ is used to
refer to the book that contains all the prayers and instructions for the
celebration of the Mass. The Missal is first written in Latin and this Latin
text is then translated into the particular language of the people. In this
way, while the Mass may be celebrated in many languages across the Roman
Catholic world, it is the same core Latin text that is being prayed by the
Church. We have been using our current Missal since St PatrickÕs Day 1975. It
is sometimes referred to as the Missal of Pope Paul VI. Now we have a new
edition of that Missal.
