Dominican Rite Mass Bulk Discounts


The sales of Dominican Rite Mass, a pew booklet for congregational use at Dominican Rite Masses, presenting the Ordinary of the Mass in Latin and English in parallel columns, has been so successful that Dominican Liturgy Publications has decided to offer discounts on bulk orders thanks to terms offered by the books-on-demand printing service.

If your congregation or group is interested in ordering more than 50 copies of the Dominican Rite Mass booklets, instructions for placing bulk orders may be found at this link.

Dominican Liturgy's Catholic Blog "Rating"


It was with some interest that I heard that Mr. Eric Sammons, a Catholic blogger himself, does an annual rating of Catholic Blogs by the number of subscribers (which is different from the number of visits because the same person who visits a blog many, many times a day is still only one reader). He tracks the over 2,000 blogs registered in the Catholic Blog Directory.

It was with some surprise that I found Dominican Liturgy to be in his "Top 200" at number 188! I am pleased that there are enough people interested in Dominican liturgy to put us well into the top 10% of Catholic blogs. So I thank our faithful readers for their support and hope, with the expansion of our editorial board to three friars, to serve you ever better.
