Ceremonial of Bishops

The reform of liturgical rites ordered by the Second Vatican Council necessitated a revision of the Caeremoniale Episcoporum, published in 1886. The post-Conciliar edition of the Ceremonial of Bishops provides liturgical guidance for celebrations presided over by a bishop.

The eight divisions of the book cover everything from the Mass, the sacraments, the Liturgy of the Hours, Eucharistic processions, and so on. This is a valued reference for bishops, masters of ceremonies, diocesan liturgical offices, and seminary libraries. It may be used by those who prepare the liturgy as a model for best practice in parish communities.
