 PREFACE

T HIS ALTAR MISSAL contains the Order for the Celebration of the
Holy Eucharist according to the Book of Common Prayer, together
with traditional devotions and ceremonial directions consonant with
the usage of the Anglican Catholic Church of Canada.
The Collects, Epistles, and Gospels are those of the Book of Common
Prayer, with additional Collects and Propers from the Prayers Books in
use throughout the Traditional Anglican Communion, along with that
of the Sarum Missal and The English Missal. The Secrets, Post-
Communion Collects and traditional devotions, together with many of
the ceremonial directions, are from The Anglican Missal and The English
Missal. The Minor Propers are from The English Gradual published by
the Plainchant Publications Committee; and the Introit and Graduals
published by the Anglican Catholic Convent Society.
The aim throughout this Missal has been the production of a useful
altar book, consonant alike with the Book of Common Prayer and with
the Catholic tradition of the Anglican Church. The Order for Holy
Communion is that established and approved by the late Bishop
Carmino de Catanzaro, first Metropolitan and Bishop Ordinary of the
Anglican Catholic Church of Canada, and approved for use by his
successors. Such devotional enrichments as Introits and Graduals,
together with Offertory and Communion Sentences, and Post-
Communion Collects are widely used and sanctioned within the
Traditional Anglican Communion, and part of the rich liturgical
heritage that is the Ecclesia Anglicana.
This revised edition of the Anglican Catholic Missal has been prepared
and compiled by The Right Reverend Peter D. Wilkinson, OSG,
Metropolitan and Bishop Ordinary of the Anglican Catholic Church of
Canada. Thanks must be given to many who have assisted in the
compilation and production of this Missal, particularly Mrs. Noella
Birch who spent countless hours typing, proof reading and correcting
this revised edition, a debt of gratitude is certainly owed her for all her
dedicated and hard work.; as well, mention should be made of the
contributions of Bishop Carl Reid, Dean Shane Janzen, Miss Peggy
Cartnal, Mr. Tim Smith, Mrs. Johanna Socha, and the clergy across the
Diocese who kindly agreed to use the first edition of the Missal,
offering their corrections and suggestions.
This Anglican Catholic Altar Missal is dedicated to the glory and
honour of Almighty God the Holy Trinity, to our Blessed Mother, and
to the clergy and people of Christ’s one, holy, catholic and apostolic
Church.
