New Roman Missal for Canada-III

This is number three in an ongoing series. It is my intent that this blog, Vox Cantoris, will be the most authoritative in Canada on this issue and I will attempt to provide you with the most up-to-date information on the implementation of the new Roman Missal in Canada with the resources necessary to educate yourself and your friends on this great gift to the people of God.

Over the last few days, I've posted two articles about the new Roman Missal and its implementation in Canada. You can find them below or by clicking here on New Roman Missal for the entire series.

This is an important matter for Catholics in Canada and you have heard little or nothing about it from your pastor or bishop.

I am instituting this to provide as much up-to-date information on the situation in Canada for its implementation.

Just to remind you; this will be happening in England in September and the United States in November on the first Sunday of Advent.

It is time friends for your voice to be heard.

You must ask your Pastor (but don't pester him, he knows little more than you).

It is however time to write your bishop and the officials at the Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops and raise this issue to ensure that English speaking Canadians are not deprived of the corrected translation to the English Novus Ordo Liturgy.

When writing to an Archbishop, the salutation is "Your Grace" and for a Bishop, it is "Your Excellency."

You should also copy, on this web page, Monsignor Patrick Powers, P.H., General Secretary of the Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops. Monsignor Powers does answer his email.

Your Grace, Archbishop....:

As a practicing Catholic living in your diocese and I am very pleased to know that the Third Edition of the Roman Missal issued by Pope John Paul II in 2000 and its General Instruction has finally been translated and approved by His Holiness, Pope Benedict XVI.

Reports in the media indicate that the new Missal is going to be used in Great Britain in September 2011 and in the United States of America on the First Sunday of Advent 2011. Yet, there has been no announcement made in my parish or in the diocesan press in Canada for its implementation.

It is my fervent hope and desire that we English-speaking people in Canada will also reap the spiritual benefits from the new Missal and the corrected translation of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass from its Latin original. Yet, I am confused as to the delay and lack of communication on this most important matter. When can we expect this new Missal and its General Instruction to be implemented in Canada?

Yours in Christ,
