USCCB: priests should begin inserting St. Joseph’s name in Eucharistic Prayers
June 20, 2013
On the same day that the Vatican announced that the name of St. Joseph will now be included in all of the Eucharistic Prayers regularly used at Mass, the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) confirmed that “the revised prayers are approved to be used immediately.”
The USCCB also published the revised wording of Eucharistic Prayers II, III, and IV in Latin, English, and Spanish; St. Joseph’s name is already included in Eucharistic Prayer I, the Roman Canon.
