Missals for the Altar. Hymnals for the Pews.
Historically, missals and hymnals were separate books. While missal texts change with new translations, hymnody remains stable.
A permanent hymnal protects parish continuity and budgets alike.
Custom Inserts and Parish Editions
Keep pews orderly and texts protected. This hymnal supports optional inserts using a secure elastic binding system, allowing for up to 16 pages of custom Mass settings or parish prayers.
Trusted by Parishes and Musicians
