The New Roman Missal Discussed

October 11, 2010 During the the first week of October, Fr. Jeremy Driscoll, O.S.B., a priest and monk of Mount Angel Abbey, spoke to the priests of the Archdiocese on the upcoming new Roman Missal which will replace the current Sacramentary we use at Mass. The new translation will be more faithful to the Latin. Fr. Bill was fortunate enough to record Fr. Jeremy's talks which can be heard at mysteriesofthemass.com. This is a rare opportunity to hear directly from one who was intimatley involved in the translation process. There are three talks which are at least an hour in length each.
