"In order to better serve Catholics who wish to worship according to the 'Forma extraordinaria', ample and ongoing catechesis in the form of the Mass must be available. This can only be achieved if, first of all, priests and seminarians are prepared to serve this need." —H. E. Francis Cardinal George

Beautiful and Ornate from Cover to Cover

At 803 pages, and measuring 8½” x 11” (approximately 1¾” thick), this has been a major project. Nevertheless, every effort was made to ensure that the Canticum Clericorum Romanum should be a book of the highest quality for use at the Traditional Latin Mass.

After diligent research, a printing and binding solution was found that is both of the highest quality while remaining economical and affordable for any parish, shrine, chapel, or church!

The binding of your volume will not only last for years and years, but its beautiful print and design reflect the beauty of the Sacred liturgy. 

 

Four poly-grosgrain colored non-fraying ribbons help keep your pages marked.
 
  

Clear and large text and musical notation make it easy to learn how to chant the sacred texts!

The principal office of sacred music is to clothe with suitable melody
the liturgical text, in order that through it, the faithful may be
the more easily moved to devotion and better disposed
for the reception of the fruits of grace.
—Tra le Sollecitudini, Pope St. Pius X
