The Episcopal Conferences of Africa have entrusted the publishing of the Roman Missal for Africa to our Paulines Publications in Nairobi, Kenya.
The Congregation for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments, together with ICEL (the organism that supervises the English translation of the Liturgy), have granted us this authorization thanks to the valuable work the FSPs of Africa did in publishing the Liturgy of the Hours in 2009. The English edition of the Roman Missal will be published by eight companies on different continents. This is the first time an edition of the Missal will be prepared in Africa and for Africa.
The text will include a calendar of the African saints, thus bringing the Church on this continent to the universal level.
The Roman Missal is a witness to the prayer of the Christian community-an instrument that can help the faithful grow in the Liturgy and renew their spiritual lives.
