The new translation of the Order of Christian Initiation of Adults was recently approved by the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops and confirmed by the Apostolic See. The new translation may begin to be used on the First Sunday of Advent, December 1, 2024. The mandatory use date is Ash Wednesday, March 5, 2025.

LTP’s beautifully designed book edition of the Order of Christian initiation of Adults displays the ritual and Scripture texts and chants with dignity and clarity for those who proclaim them and those who listen to them. The design eliminates page turns wherever possible, and the use of two colors differentiates rubrics from what is to be proclaimed. The line length for the prayer texts and Scripture readings gives a pleasing proportion to the page as a whole and assists the reader in public proclamation of the text. Its design and layout represents an effort by LTP to provide parish ministers with a dignified ritual book helping lead the many rituals that are part of the Christian initiation process.

Features include:

• casebound book with foil stamp on front cover and spine
