Set: The Roman Ritual - 3 Volumes

As stated in the Foreword of his first completed volume (Vol. III in 1946), Fr. Weller compiled his set of The Roman Ritual for the clergy "as a manual and reference" and for the laity's "interest and enthusiasm for the rites and prayers of so important a part of the liturgical books of the Church."

His indispensable 3-volume set was especially prized for its thoroughness in treating of the liturgical laws pertaining to each rite, as well as his copious and instructive commentaries.

The highly-regarded rubrical work for various ceremonies according to the traditional Roman Rite is available again!  Once difficult and expensive to obtain can now be yours for a reasonable price.
