THE NEW MASS BOOK (Roman Missal) – THE PRESENT English Missal was introduced in 1969. In the intervening years many Saints and Feast days have been added. In recent years an effort has been made to update the Missal in a way that was suitable for all the English speaking world. This has not been easy but has thankfully been completed. It is hoped that the New Missal will be introduced towards the end of next year. It will involve many familiar texts as well as some renewed ones.
