The new English translation of the Missal will finally give English speakers the same access to the richness of the Mass prayers that other language speakers already enjoy. The original English translation was always meant to be provisional and was more drastic in paraphrasing the prayers than the other languages. While the full translation will be in use from the first Sunday of Advent, we begin during this Autumn with the introduction of the greetings of the priest and the people's responses.
Here in Sacred Heart Church, taking various practical factors into account, the greetings and responses will be introduced at the beginning of October.
