Novus Ordo in Latin: Does anyone have a handy booklet ready?

    To my delight (and surprise, let's be honest) I have received word from the chancery that the 3rd Saturdays of the Month will be the Novus Ordo but in Latin.

    Knowing full-well that this will be a wild ride for just about everyone, I need to prepare booklets to guide people through the prayers and responses, and was wondering if anyone had a template that I could work off of.

    Thanks,
    J

    The Parish Book of Chant has both the Latin prayers and responses for both the EF and the OF in it.

    It’s available for free in PDF format here:

    And now I need to go to confession for envying you getting a regularly occurring Latin OF Mass.

    If it's a votive Mass for the BVM, I have several booklets available (we do Latin NO with 5 gregorian propers on 1st Saturdays), with much chanted notation included. DM me and I can send them your way.

    Years ago at St. Mary's in Akron, Ohio (1977-2005) celebrated NO in Latin on the last Sunday of the Month, but only at one mass, 10am on Sunday which is when the choir sang. In the beginning we used a booklet which contains Latin on one side and English on the other. Of course the booklet was published in the 1970s so certain mass parts would need to be revised/ updated.

    The booklet contained a small number of Latin Hymns, Benediction and I think the Missa de Angelus. I have a pdf copy of the booklet that I could send you if you are interested. I also have some history of how the NO Latin was celebrated at St. Mary's. PM if you're interested and I can send you what I have.

    That's basically what I'm looking to recreate. I figured I wouldn't totally reinvent the wheel if I didn't have to.

    I purchased a copy of "Singing the Mass" years ago. It has the format you are looking for:
