Our ability to offer participation in this diocesan bulk order ends on February 16, 2026. 
 
Following that date all copies of this ritual book must be ordered by the parishes directly through the publisher.  This would mean the copies ordered would be both shipped to and billed individually to the parish that orders them through their chosen publisher.    (Copies ordered outside this diocesan bulk order would not be available for pick-up at the 2020 Priest Assembly/Chrism Mass.)
