OU HAVE ARRIVED at the “miscellaneous” section of the Campion Missal Website. Below, you will find information relating to the First Edition as well as some random facts. This information will probably not be useful to the general public now that the Second Edition has arrived.
IF YOU HAVE ARRIVED HERE BY MISTAKE, please click on the top bar. This will take you to the website for the current (correct) edition.

Miscellaneous Items
1. The beautiful, digitally-enhanced Line Art in the Campion Missal is being uploaded and given away for free! Here is an example. To download all 300+ pieces of artwork, visit: Views from the Choir Loft [url].
2. It was difficult to select the devotional prayers due to the great number available, and we hope the prayers we included by St. Ambrose, St. Augustine, St. Thomas Aquinas, St. Bonaventure, St. Ignatius Loyola, and Servant of God Fulton Sheen will suffice.
3. The shipping cost for International books is higher than we would like. Click here to learn more.
4. In the book’s Preface, some historical information regarding vernacular hymns at Low Mass was shared. Some misunderstood, concluding that this indicated an “endorsement” of a certain historical practice. That notion is not accurate. By way of anology, learning about the life of General Robert E. Lee would not constitute an “endorsement” of the Confederacy.
5. We use the elegant, literal translations of Fr. Lasance — completely re-typeset, not scanned!
6. The back cover biography of St. Edmund Campion was composed by Dr. Gerard Kilroy, the world’s leading expert on the life and works of St. Edmund Campion.
7. At a later date, we plan on releasing special “St. Edmund Campion” booklets to supplement the Missal. One will be for Stations of the Cross, another for Traditional Baptisms. Information will be forthcoming.
8. One of the clerics who appears in the Mass pictures is a relative of St. Antoine Daniel [url], a special patron of CCW’s work with the Gregorian Kyriale.
