Excerpts From the Roman Missal - Book of the Chair - GF7622

Excerpts from the Roman Missal(also known informally as the "Book of the Chair") represents a worthy and welcome solution to a commonly voiced concern: The Roman Missal is a large and heavy book, difficult for altar servers (who are often children) to hold for the celebrant and to carry around the sanctuary. Developed by the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops and approved by the Vatican, Excerpts includes only those texts of the Missal that are used by the celebrant at the chair. The resulting volume is approximately half the size of the full Missal.

The large Clothbound Edition includes all the enhanced features that celebrants have come to know and trust from Catholic Book Publishing: Large, easy-to-read type; printed and doubly reinforced end papers; durable, functional tabs; a sturdy, Roxite cover; and satin ribbon markers that add an elegant finishing touch. Specially produced acid-neutral cream paper from established, quality mills ensures the highest opacity available in the world and consistency of the highest degree, without adding unnecessary bulk and weight. Size 8-1/2" x 11"
