New Translation of the Roman Missal

Over the last year or so, you have probably heard that there is a new translation of the prayers that we pray at Mass coming on the First Sunday of Advent, November 27, 2011. Here at St. John's, we have already started singing the new translation of the Sanctus, or Holy, Holy, so that we all get acclimated to the new songs.

It's important to know how these translations came to be and why the Church has decided that we needed a new translation. These videos, produced by Lifeteen, are a great way to start understanding the who, what, where, when, why, and how of it all. These videos are all between 7 and 10 minutes long. Please take some time to watch them and to share them with your families and friends. The more we all know, the easier it is for all of us to understand.
