Decree for Votive Mass

Message to Bishops

Archbishop Bernard Longley has approved the use of the following texts- for temporary use (as these are working translations) - for parishes and communities to celebrate the Mass this year, on 1 September, the World Day of Prayer for the Care of Creation, whilst schools (not yet returned by then) may desire to celebrate it sometime during the Season of Creation, running from 1 September - 4 October.
