Coming Advent 2024!

The new Lectionary is changing as part of the continuing process of revising liturgical scripture translations. You can read more about these changes here.

We are appealing to the generosity of our Parishioners. Every donation no matter how small will bring us closer to our goal, helping us continue to worship with the best resources available. Your support will enrich our liturgical celebrations for years to come. 

What we will be purchasing?

We need to purchase The Ambo and Chapel Edition Lectionaries, Book of the Gospels and six volumes of the Parish Mass books including 5 large print editions of each. 

Our target is £5,660.25 broken down as follows:
£1,160.25 Lectionaries 
£4,500.00 Mass books

LECTIONARIES:

If you’d like to buy a complete Lectionary edition set, we could include a sticker that can be inscribed as a token of our gratitude. This is a wonderful opportunity to honour loved ones or commemorate your family’s contribution to our Parish community.

Lectionary Ambo Edition = £695
Lectionary Chapel Edition = £695
Book of the Gospels = £275
Total = £1,365 – 15% discount = £1,160.25

MASS BOOKS:

To meet our needs, we need to acquire six editions each containing 300 books. The three-year cycle has two mass books for each year, these are Advent to Easter and Ordinary time. At £5 a book, the cost for each edition totals £1,500. This significant but essential investment will ensure our liturgical celebrations align with the new lectionary.

Part 1 – Year C £1,500
Part 2 – Year A £1,500
Part 3 – Year B £1,500
Total £4,500
