This might be a time to consider owning the Roman Missal, for personal use, for the parish, or just for the family to have around to look at and read from. I’m very excited to think of the joy that will come from owning one, just as it appears. In so many ways, this is a singular event in our lifetimes.
WLP is now offering their leather-bound edition in pre-sale and a value edition also. Jerry Galipeau discusses the company’s approach and the WLP is set up to take orders.
Delivery starts October 1.
I hope the artwork in the new missal is better than what's in the current Sacramentary.
First of all, thanks for the mention, Chant Cafe.
Anonymous, as a member of the WLP staff, I can tell you that the two editions we are publishing will include manuscript artwork from the Vatican Apostolic Library. If you go http://www.wlpmusic.com, and click on the Roman Missal links at the top of the home page, you'll be brought to individual product pages where you can view actual sample pages, including an artwork example and WLP's chant engravings. Also on each product page is a tab that says "Contains" where there are few more images of the artwork we are including.
