Frequently Asked Questions

Below are some of the most common questions we get about Latin Mass missals.

Do I need a missal to attend the Latin Mass?

No, you don't need a missal to attend the Latin Mass. Missals are great if you want to read all of the propers of the Mass, but they're not essential, especially for first-timers. Most priests read the Lesson/Epistle and Gospel in English anyways.

 

We generally recommend that new-comers simply observe the Mass before attempting to follow along in a missal. You'll be able to follow along with a missal even more easily after you've been to a Mass or two.

Where do I put the ribbons for my missal? 

There's no single "correct" way to place your ribbons, but here are the most common and important places for ribbons:

  • Ribbon #1: The Ordinary- Start of Mass Section (usually in the center of the missal)
  • Ribbon #2: The Ordinary - Roman Canon Section 
  • Ribbon #3: Propers for Sundays (usually to the left of the Ordo)
  • Ribbon #4: Propers for Saints & Feast Days (usually to the right of the Ordo)

The remaining ribbon locations are really up to your personal preferences. Some popular places to place the "extra" ribbons include:

  • Extra Ribbon: Prayers before Communion 
  • Extra Ribbon: Votive Mass Section
  • Extra Ribbon: Saint of the Day Section (not all missals have this)

What's the difference between 1945 and 1962 missals? Does it matter which one I get?

There are very few changes between 1945 (pre-1955) and 1962 missals. Even though most priests pray the mass using a 1962 missal, you'll be able to follow along just fine in a 1945 missal for the vast majority of the liturgical calendar. 

 

There are, however, a few changes you would notice while using a 1945 missal throughout the year. In 1962 missals...

  • Holy Week (Palm Sunday through Holy Saturday) was reformed. The readings and hymns are different. Many priests and laity find the pre-1955 Holy Week more beaitiful, so ask your priest which missal he uses for Holy Week when deciding which missal(s) to buy. 
  • All feast days were re-classified as Class I, II, II, and IV. In 1945 missals all days/feasts are classified as 'Doubles' (with four subgroups), 'Semi-doubles' and 'Simples'.
  • The Solemnity of St. Joseph was replaced by the feast of St. Joseph the Workman, which still takes place on May 1st.
  • The dates of 3 feasts were moved:
    • Patronage of St. Joseph, Patron of the Catholic Church' to March 19th.
    • St. Irenaeus' to July 3
    • St. John Mary Vianney to August 8.
  • Some feasts, octaves, and vigils were removed, but since few priests use a 1945 missal, you'll rarely (if ever) need the propers for them.
