It should be noted that, whilst removing nothing from the text as delivered in London, this text replaces any previously published extracts and includes passages that, due to time constraints, His Eminence was not able to deliver.

Whilst respecting the possibility of unofficial translations of small excerpts of the text for the purpose of reporting, the translation and publication of the whole text into other languages requires prior permission and confirmation of the translation.

Registration Update for Sacra Liturgia UK 2016, London, 5-8 July

With only two months to go before Sacra Liturgia UK opens on July 5th we are happy to report that thus far registered participants will be coming to London from over fifteen different countries throughout the world to meet each other and to study and discuss questions of liturgical formation and celebration in the life and mission of the Church today.

Full and part-time registrations remain open, though we advise delegates intending to register for full-time places to do so as soon as possible so as to avoid missing out on some sessions for which there is much interest. Both full and part-time registrations will close when the auditorium capacity is reached.

We are still looking for benefactors to sponsor places for seminarians and religious who wish to attend. Please contact us through the conference website if you are able to help. Thank you to all who have contributed already.
