The New Missal: Beauty and Practicality

I am really looking forward to seeing the new missal when it is completed. We have begun thinking about how to get our school children and staff ready for the new missal when it arrives on the altars for full use in Advent. Go to the CTS site to see what is happening with the new missal.
Beauty and PracticalityCTS is working with highly-skilled printers and binders in Italy to ensure a high quality of craftsmanship in the finished volume. The choice of paper, binding, marker ribbons and leather page tabs has been made to ensure ease of use and durability over many years.

For the interior, colour illustrations have been sourced from medieval illustrated manuscripts, and decorative elements from skilled contemporary artists and from volumes in the British Library.

Please continue to support the CTS
CTS is investing heavily to ensure that this new Missal will serve well the needs of the Catholic communities both here in the UK and in Australia, and that it will enhance the beauty of the liturgy.

We eagerly look forward to the time when the Bishops will officially release the Missal for use in the service of the Lord, hopefully at the end of this year.
