The new English translation of the Order of Mass will be used in parishes in England and Wales from September, it was announced today.

The bishops' conference said it would be introduced into parishes three months before the new Missal is published in Advent and would thus provide an opportunity for "in-depth catechesis on the Eucharist and renewed devotion in the manner of its celebration".

The bishops also announced the creation of a website and a DVD to prepare the faithful for the transition.
