    do you all have any suggestions/experience with the new missals available and which one would you recommend?

    That's the one I would buy as a hand missal for use 'in the pews'.
    Will the deacon eventually need an altar edition?

    Holy Shopping Bag, Chonak! A church IN THE MALL???!!!!!! Does the sacred music waft through Dillards and Gamestop?

    I didn't get an impression if you 'liked' the Missal from your article. Did I miss it?

    By the way... does it have the gospel acclamation for each day? typically not, and it is frustrating to find it!

    Yes, here in the Boston area, we have chapels in two malls in Danvers and Boston, and one next to a mall in Brockton. There are also chapels at the the Boston Harbor waterfront, in the downtown shopping district, one near Fenway Park, and at Logan Airport. There was formerly a chapel at South Station, "Our Lady of the Railways", but it was removed decades ago.

    And yes, the missal does include daily gospel acclamations.

    Another missal to consider is the set from Pauline Books: a relatively small Sunday book and a fatter weekday book.
