Not as bad as I thought. More changes for the priest.

I came to the course in an anti-mood to the changes. But I now feel much better. I do still have concerns about the cost, missing Parish Mass Books etc. But I am pleasantly pleased.

A very good initiative and well timed.

Need to explain to people in the pew.

Do not like many of the changes. In particular the “for all” to “for many.” Jesus died for all. Whether all accept him is their choice.

Presentation good. Easy to follow.

I was glad to hear that there will still be a place for a quiet, non-singing Mass. I feel well informed – thanks.

Put all info and developments onto diocesan website for access by all. Do not rely on communication to parish priests, please.

It was excellent to see and meet so many people who are interested in the new translation. The number of attendees was brilliant. A superb opportunity for catechesis and discussion – controversy and discussion!

Thanks and the Lord be with your spirit. God bless.

I felt that the sessions were very well put together and were clear, precise and varied in their content and presentation.

The reasons for the change needed to be more clearly explained.

Sharing the new Mass was a lovely experience. The words may change but it is Jesus who is central – and this is what I felt.

It is really down to us in our different parishes to bring about the changes and demonstrate our understanding and enthusiasm for them.

I wonder how it will develop as it is cascaded down to the deaneries/parishes. I hope it won’t be like a postcode lottery.

Did these sessions meet your expectations? YES - 88, NO - 3, Not sure - 10.
