The Rev. Matthew O'Toole, pastor of St. Margaret of Scotland Catholic Church, uses the new Roman Missal as he delivers the Eucharistic prayer during evening mass Saturday November 26, 2011. While liturgy translations changed modestly for parishioners this weekend, the Eucharistic prayers changed significantly for priests, requiring them to read from the Missal.  I've never been so preoccupied with what to say since my first mass, O'Toole told the celebrants as mass concluded.  I say we get an 'A' for effort.
