Parish Ritual

Parish Ritual (Latin & English, Travel-Size Edition)

In 2017, priests requested a travel-size Ritual containing the most important and frequently used ceremonies, devotions, and sacraments of the traditional Roman Rite. Using the 1962 Parish Ritual edited by Fr. Frederick McManus and Fr. Bede Babo, O.S.B., this edition was carefully revised to restore traditional scriptural translations and improve usability for today’s clergy.
