EMBERS of Corpus Christi Watershed were honored to assist the JP2 Institute in creating a book fulfilling “the true liturgical vision of the Vatican II fathers.” This book is intended for the pews wherever Ordinary Form Masses are offered. By exploring the resources below, you can view sample pages, read reviews, and learn about the various elements that make this book’s 832 pages so unique. The official title is SAINT ISAAC JOGUES ILLUMINATED MISSAL, LECTIONARY, & GRADUAL, but it’s usually referred to as “The Jogues Missal.” This pew resource will last until the new Lectionary for the United States is released—which is scheduled to arrive in 2027 or 2028.

HE SAINT Isaac Jogues Illuminated Missal—now available from Sophia Institute Press—is for parishes seeking to move their community toward a more elevated, solemn, beautiful, and traditional celebration of the Ordinary Form of the Roman Rite. Designed to replace flimsy, disposable missalettes, the Jogues Missal brings together the rich texts of the Entrance, Gradual, Offertory and Communion chants along with the readings of the Lectionary, including responsorial psalms and Gospel acclamations. The Missal encompasses all Sundays, Holy Week, special solemnities, funerals, weddings, confirmations, and Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament. The preeminent highlight of the Missal, however, is the ORDO MISSAE, featuring full-color photographs portraying the various parts of the Mass. Sidebar explanations serve as a mini-treatise on the Mass, reminding the faithful that the Holy Eucharist is “the source and summit of the Christian life.”
