A New Translation of the Order of Penance
A new translation of the Order of Penance was approved by the Bishops of the United States on June 17, 2021 and confirmed by the Dicastery for Divine Worship and Discipline of the Sacraments on April 25, 2022. It may be used as of Ash Wednesday, February 22, 2023. It must be used beginning Divine Mercy Sunday, April 16, 2023.
Orders for the ritual book that were placed through the Office of Worship are now in, and you should have received notification about picking those up. It is not too late to place an order for the ritual book – the order form and more information is attached.
