The Complete Liturgical Text for the Celebration of Mass

The Roman Missal Third Edition Deluxe Altar Edition is the authoritative liturgical book used by priests and deacons for the celebration of Mass according to the Roman Rite. Approved for use in the United States by the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) and confirmed by the Holy See, the Third Edition represents the current normative text of the Mass and includes all prayers, prefaces, Eucharistic Prayers, and ritual texts required for the full celebration of the liturgical year.

This Deluxe Altar Edition is designed for placement on the altar and for active liturgical use in parish settings. Its format, binding, and construction reflect the dignity of the sacred liturgy it serves. Whether for a newly established parish, a replacement for a worn volume, or an upgrade to a more durable edition, this Missal is a foundational supply for any Catholic church.
