ICEL Chants for Pew Card
  • Hello,
    I was wondering what the copyright policies are for making a pew card using the 2010 ICEL Chant Mass for Lent. I would like to use the English setting of the Sanctus and Memorial Acclamation and the Latin setting of the Agnus Dei.

    Publications subject to royalties
    Any publication produced for sale which contains ICEL translations is subject to a royalty or flat fee. Publications included are books, booklets, pamphlets, cards, diskettes, CD, and other electronic media used for liturgical celebrations or popular participation. Other publications containing ICEL texts but not for use during liturgical celebrations, such as textbooks, commentaries, religious education books and materials, private prayerbooks, recordings, etc. may be assessed a royalty or flat fee.

    Publications not subject to royalties

    No royalty is charged for reprinting ICEL translations in a publication for use at a specific Mass or celebration of an individual congregation or institution, for example: convention program booklets, jubilee Masses, ordinations, baptisms, first communions, confirmations, funerals, weddings, etc., provided that the following conditions are met:

    a. the publication is not produced by a publishing firm;

    b. the publication is not sold;

    c. the appropriate copyright notice appears on the cover, inside cover, or title page;

    d. the official editions of the texts are followed exactly.


    Also, see page 18 of this document: http://icelweb.org/PubPolicy.PDF.

    Here is a version I put together a few years ago, in case it may be useful.
