Books for Celebration in the Absence of a Priest
On the rare occasion where a priest is unavailable to celebrate mass in the Catholic Church, a deacon or appointed layperson may lead the celebration, in adherence to the CCDDS’ directory in 1988. A reserved sacrament is used, as no Eucharistic consecration takes place, and such a celebration is not technically referred to as a mass. A specialized liturgical book is essential to guide the celebrant from the introductory rites, through the Liturgy of the Word and communion rites, to the concluding rites. We carry several liturgical books to accommodate the absence of a priest, so your congregation can consistently participate in the weekly rite of Holy Eucharist.
Roman Missals
Containing prayers and chants used in the Mass, The Roman Missal is a uniform instruction to the Mass. It is then translated into many languages and used throughout the world. In 2011, the English edition of the Third Typical Roman Missal was completed by the USCCB and released with updated language and prayers. Many handsome bindings and sizes are available to suit your worship space, from chapel to Cathedral. The Spanish edition (Missal Romano) for use in the United States is currently being updated.
