As the next couple of months unfold, the preparations and education for the people in the pews will ramp up. Even in the lazy, hazy days of summer though, it seems that we're doing the preparation for the time when the teaching will take place.
We know that the new translation of the Roman Missal is scheduled to be implemented across this country and others beginning on November 27, but before that time, we need to explain the changes to the people in the pews, and give them ample opportunity to at least begin getting used to the changes.
Various materials have been published and are rapidly leaping off the shelves. As of today, we have received copies of the pew editions of Celebrate in Song, and just today, we've received copies of the accompaniments for the hymns and Mass settings. In the coming weeks, musicians will be learning these settings, and then they will be taught to parishioners before being implemented as part of the weekly celebrations of the liturgy.
As it stands now, the plan is to begin introducing these changes in September. In addition, the Diocesan Liturgy Office will hold a series of workshops across the diocese in the months of September and October to help people to understand the changes that are being proposed.
