Leisa Anslinger, who was with us on November 1 at the Grappone Center has authored an E-product, “Let Us Pray: Teaching about the Revised Roman Missal in Your Parish.” It is available from Twenty-Third Publications. Visit http://store.pastoralplanning.com.

Music

The Church Music Association of America, an association of Catholic musicians, has prepared an online resource for learning the music for the Roman Missal. Each video displays the music as it is sung making it easy to follow along and learn. It is important to note that the texts and music available on these sites are for study rather than immediate liturgical use as definitive versions will not be available until the Bishops' Conferences have determined a date for the implementation of the Missal.

Click here for the music videos beginning with the Introductory Rite. Additional videos are found on the right side.

Click here to print copies of the music.

Visit The Church Music Association of America website.
