Sacraments

Christian communities remember the names of their dead, in prayers of intercession and on anniversaries. The names of those who are called saints are chanted in litany as we approach baptism and other central moments in the life of the church. Especially in November, from All Saints Day until Thanksgiving, many parishes give a place of special honor in their church to the book containing the names of the dead. Parishioners may write the names of those they wish to remember in this special book each year. This beautifully appointed book has a simple prominence, worthy of its solemn intent. The paper is of archival quality and the printing is in two colors.

Hardcover, 9 x 12, 128 pages.

The book is available in an English only

CEREMONIAL OF BISHOPS

Ceremonial of Bishops

Published by The Liturgical Press

The reform of liturgical rites ordered by the Second Vatican Council necessitated a revision of the Caeremoniale Episcoporum, published in 1886. The objective of this ceremonial is to provide a liturgy for bishops that will stand as a model for all other celebrations.

The eight divisions of the book cover everything from the Mass through liturgical celebrations in connection with the government of a diocese. This is a valued reference for bishops, masters of ceremonies, diocesan liturgical offices, seminary libraries, etc. Two-color printing to separate text from rubrics.
