Question
Hi Tom,
I'm having trouble locating the script for the Eucharist online.  My mom works for the diocese in our city, but I'm at college, and I can't get my hands on a sacramentary quickly enough.  Do you know of any good web sites?
Thanks.
Catherine

Answer
Catherine,

  I can understand why you are having trouble: I'm finding it difficult to locate an on-line source for the Sacramentary also. You don't say how big the scope of your project is. Do you want the words for the entire Eucharist? Or is just part of it what you need? However, I do have a suggestion: you don't say where you are at college, but if you're at a major state institution, the campus Newman center would surely be a source to check. I have two other suggestions. Call your university library reference section or the reference section for the public library. These people are in the business of tracking down information and are delighted to assist. Finally, a call to a local Catholic parish with an explanation of what you're looking for . . . why wouldn't that work?
