Preparing for the New Lectionary
The LECTIONARY, which is the book that contains the Scripture readings for Mass and the Sacraments, is changing in all Catholic parishes in Scotland, England and Wales, with effect from the start of Advent (Sunday 1st December 2024). To help to prepare the parish for this import change, we are offering a number of resources:
+ Hugh Gilbert OSB, Bishop of Aberdeen and President of the Bishops’ Conference of Scotland, who was closely involved in the preparation of the new text, has published a short explanatory article which can be read here – https://bit.ly/LOTNSummer562024.
+ We are planning a PARISH TALK on the new Lectionary by Fr Paul Denney in the Parish Hall on Tuesday 12th November at 7pm. It is open to ALL parishioners, but it is MANDATORY for all Readers to attend so that they can be well prepared for the changes to come.
+ A series of three 45 min. WEBINARS is being hosted by Fr Jamie McMorrin of the Archdiocese of St Andrews & Edinburgh (4, 11, 18 Dec at 7:00pm) to help you understand the key changes and why they are happening. You can register for these here: http://bit.ly/lectionaryadvent
