The New Mass Prayers

Why is the Catholic Church changing the prayers of the Mass?  What difference will these new words make?  On November 27, 2011, Catholics will begin praying with the new missal.  The new translation of the Roman Missal has generated much interest and many questions.  On Sunday, October 23, 2011, from 1:30-3:30pm, Linwood Spiritual Center will present “Are You Ready for the New Mass Prayers?”  Fr. Tom Scirghi, SJ, will lead a discussion of the new missal with its blend of the old and the new, and how it may revive worship.  The cost for this program is $15.00 

Thomas Scirghi, SJ, is Professor of Sacramental Theology at Fordham University.  He has presented workshops on the new missal across the country as well as in Asia and Africa.  Tom is a longtime friend and regular visitor to Linwood.
