USCCB President Authorizes Gradual Introduction of Musical Settings of New Roman Missal Starting In September

June 28th, 2011 by U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops

Archbishop Gregory Aymond of New Orleans, chairman of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops’ (USCCB) Committee on Divine Worship, announced that diocesan bishops may permit the gradual introduction of the musical settings of the people’s parts of the Mass from the new Roman Missal in September. Primarily this affects the the Gloria, the Holy, Holy, Holy and the Memorial Acclamations.

This variation to the implementation of the Roman Missal, Third Edition, set to take place all at once on November 27, was authorized by USCCB president, Archbishop Timothy Dolan of New York, and adopted by the committee to allow parish communities to learn the various parts of the new translation “in a timely fashion and an even pace.”

The Committee on Divine Worship made the decision in response to requests from several bishops, echoed by the National Advisory Council. Some suggested that the various acclamations could be more effectively introduced throughout the fall, so that when the full Missal is implemented on the First Sunday of Advent, the congregation will have already become familiar with the prayers that are sung.

“I ask you to encourage this as a means of preparing our people and helping them embrace the new translation,” Archbishop Gregory told the bishops. The announcement took place June 16, during the U.S. bishops Spring Assembly near Seattle.

Because our parish is growing so much we are running (actually close to it) our own capital campaign for building and moving rooms, etc. So we have escaped the strong arm tactics of which you speak.

I think we can be very thankful. You aren’t the only one who has spoken of this to me.

You also know that Steiner is retiring this year? Who do you think we will get there? (I just hope it’s not a step up for O’D)

You have FReepmail.

Your welcome. It has been on my Catholic blog reading list for sometime. Great site for what is going on in the Liturgy around the world and great source for the historical foundation and “organic development” of the Liturgy in continuity with Tradition, which is what Pope Benedict has been stressing since he became the Successor of St. Peter.

I don’t see Abp Chaput going to Portland from Denver. Bishop Steiner I assume is the auxilliary correct? Abp Vlazny is not that bad of a Bishop, at least that is how it appears from my view down South.

Bishop Olmsted of Pheonix I would think will not get moved from Pheonix as I think it just became an archdiocese I believe.

My view is The Pope will look to a mid-size city, someone who shares the Pope’s view of Liturgy and Theology and apppoint him to Archbishop of Portland, now who that is I don’t know. Rocco over at Whisipers in the Loggia seems to be well connected with that kind of stuff.
