Sunday 25 January 2009

imageThe Congregation for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments has given permission that on Sunday 25 January 2009 in every church one Mass may celebrated using the texts of Conversion of St Paul as a way of marking the Year of St Paul. For the second reading the text would be taken from the 3rd Sunday in Ordinary Time (which the Mass would replace) the Creed would also be recited.

The text of the decree can be found on the website of the Congregation
