catholic 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!

On this episode of quot;Catholics Matterquot; we#39;re joined by Fr. Kieran Kleczewski, executive director for the Diocese of Phoenix#39;s ...

I have two really old Catholic Missal's that I want to sell to someone who will treat it right does anyone know how to sell old books like my missal

There are some antique book dealers in most major cities who would probably be interested if the condition of the books is good enough. They would also probably pay the most. Your other options would be auctions or on-line sales. Hope this helps!

Price: $59.95

Freshly-typeset copies, not those which have been preowned.

There's a religious store in almost any mall. I'm not a Catholic, but I'm sure that you'll find it.

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'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.
