catholic church missal

We are helping out a friend who will have her wedding this October in a Protestant (Baptist) Church wedding ceremony. In a Roman Catholic wedding ceremony, they have a missal that contains a script of the whole ceremony. Is there such an equivalent for that in a baptist wedding ceremony - one that we can print out and distribute during the wedding so people attending the ceremony will have a guide? Thanks

Hi. As a church secretary (Lutheran Church) who has done many wedding bulletins (some call them programs), I would advise your friend to check with the church office before doing anything.

As a service to those who are getting married at the church I work at, I type up and copy the program (along with help from the couple, of course.) So, have your friend FIRST check with the church office if they do anything like this. If not, then proceed on your own.

I don't know how the order is for a Baptist ceremony (I am Catholic myself), but I would think you would be able to find anything you need by doing a simple Google search.

Good luck!

Anglican Use Missal Celebrated at St. Joseph#39;s Catholic Church in Mississauga at the request of Archbishop Thomas Collins as part of the ...

I suspect Hand's question was really, which edition, by which publisher, etc., is best. I personally know of only two, the St. Joseph Daily & Sunday Missals; and another called "Roman Missal," edited by James Socias and published by World Library Publications.

I like the latter better. Based on the copies I've seen, it has nicer typesetting and just a nicer "look & feel" than the St. Joseph ones.

You may be able to get a used copy of one containing readings from the Jerusalem Bible rather than the New American Bible, which a lot of people consider a poor translation but which we're largely stuck with at Mass since the USCCB (I'm told) makes money off it. I understand that the current edition of the Roman Missal uses the NAB, but used to have one with readings from the Jerusalem Bible, which was maybe 5 years ago.

Of course even better would be a Tridentine Latin Mass missal. : ) Seriously, if you are newly reconciled with the Church I highly recommend attending a TLM at least a few times to acquaint yourself with it. I'm not an SSPX guy, I just think the TLM is much more awesome than the new Mass.

I'd be interested to learn if anyone who was recieved into the Catholic Church on Holy Saturday was recieved in a traditional parish using the 1962 missal. I'll throw it open to those who have been recieved since the Popes, Motu proprio - Summorum Pontificum.
Nita.
You did not read the question. I was not looking for an attack on the church or an answer from those who have abandoned their faith.

Yes, in Austria in a pilgrim's church. There the priest can decide himself which kind he reads.

I'm a Catholic priest, and have three new members of the Church. Unfortunately, I've been unable to find a missal to help them follow Mass and understand what's going on.

I haven't been able to find a Mandarin catechism, either.

Thanks for your help.
I mean order one through the mail, or via internet.

You lie too, there is no way that you are a Catholic priest and not know where to get these items.

There is historical evidence that Christians worshiped as Catholics before the 4th century. There are artifacts, relics, and missals that show that Catholicism was around before Constantine. There are even inscriptions in the Roman catacombs of Jesus, Mary, Peter, Paul, and many other saints when the Catholic Church was underground in hiding from persecution. There were altars built over tombs of the martyrs in the catacombs of which the priests would say Mass over.

I just don't understand why a lot of people these days think that the Catholic Church began with Constantine.

The answer to your question is basically because that is what they were told. History of course does not bear that out. The greeks owe much more to constantine than the western Church does.The ancient city Constantinople was named after him.The Greeks have him on there list of saints where as the West has his Mother only.Constantine wanted the Papacy moved to Greece and the Pope said no and that started the first real friction between the two great Faiths. Now if only some one can explain to me that according to Zena E the fact that most of the Bible was written in Greek rather than Latin changes any thing and proves a Religion is beyond me.Every one knows that Greek was a popular literature language during the time of Christ and the Apostles.But as the Roman Government grew so did the use of Latin but neither language proves or disproves who is more right as Jesus settled that a long time ago.None are only his followers and teachers. So as ST.Ignatius said in 107AD being to first publish the name Catholic in his letters.And lastly if Constantine could have been able to have started any Church it would have been the Arian Church as he was a believer and supporter of Arian teaching.
