Changes in the Mass

Beginning at Advent

Over the course of the last few months, we’ve been discussing the changes in the English translation of the Mass that we’ll begin using in two weeks.  As I’ve said, the bulk of the changes will be in the prayers that the priest leads. Below are the parts that will change, but remember we do the Holy Holy and the Lamb of God in Latin during Advent, so the changes. So when it comes down to it, the people will not have tons to learn!
