The new English and Spanish translations of the Order of Christian Initiation of Adults (OCIA) were recently approved by the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops and confirmed by the Apostolic See. The new translation may begin to be used on the First Sunday of Advent, December 1, 2024. The mandatory use date is Ash Wednesday, March 5, 2025.

This beautifully designed ritual book presents the English and Spanish texts on facing pages. True to LTP’s reputation as a leader in liturgical texts, the design shows sensitivity toward the bilingual needs of United States parishes. Page turns are eliminated wherever possible, and the use of two colors differentiates rubrics from what is to be proclaimed. The line length for the prayer texts and Scripture readings gives a pleasing proportion to the page as a whole and assists the reader in public proclamation of the text. This beautifully designed bilingual ritual book displays the ritual and Scripture texts and chants with dignity and clarity for those who proclaim them and those who listen to them.

Features include:

  • casebound book with foil stamp on front cover and spine
  • three ribbon markers bound into the book
  • acid-free paper to prevent discoloration over time
  • pagination designed to reduce disrupting page breaks

"LTP is my default publisher when purchasing new ritual books. The products are beautiful and of good quality. The designs are fresh and contemporary yet worthy of the solemnity of the rites. It is a joy to use these rituals when presiding."
— Rick Riccioli, OFM Conv. Most Holy Trinity Friary, Brooklyn, NY

“LTP provides invaluable service to our diocese by providing top-quality ritual books to our parishes. As a pastor, I’m grateful that these books are crafted in a way that is elegant, artistic, and beautifully practical. LTP conveys their clear understanding of ‘noble simplicity’ in their quality work.”
— Fr. Godfrey Mullen, OSB Cathedral of St. Peter Blessed Sacrament Church Our Lady Queen of Peace Church, Office of Worship, Diocese of Belleville

“LTP’s Book of the Elect is an elegant ritual book for a moment in time, capturing the dynamic relationship catechumens have with God, their parish and diocese at both the Rite of Sending and the Rite of Election. The act of signing one’s name in this well-crafted book marks the catechumen’s commitment to God, crossing the ritual Step of the Rite of Election, named or elected for the Easter sacraments. Along with ample room for each catechumen’s name, each page has simple refined script with phrases from the biblical psalms in English and Spanish that evoke God’s tenderness, along with ritual signs that silently speak of the grace of the initiation journey awaiting at the font of life. The Book of the Elect is a ritual book worthy of yearly recording the mystery of God’s grace as expressed in people’s lives, a living memory of the process of initiation.”
— Rev. Thomas C. Ranzio Director, Office of Worship, Diocese of Baton Rouge, LA

“LTP’s ritual books are beautiful and worthy of their sacred use. The simple and elegant artwork and the clean typefaces draw the minister using them deep into the sacred mysteries being celebrated and the durable covers and paper inside the books attest to their durability.”
— Christopher J. Ferraro Director of Music and Liturgy The Parish of St. Patrick, Bayshore, NY

“I always offer LTP’s ritual books to the parishes of the archdiocese because of their quality craftsmanship and the beauty of the artwork contained within. I know that when an LTP book is purchased it will last and serve the people of God in that place for years to come.”
— Jeremy Helmes Director of Divine Worship & Sacraments, Archdiocese of Cincinnati, OH
