Confederation of Canons Regular

Of The Order Of Saint Augustine

Provost General of the Congregation of

SS Nicholas and Bernard of Mont Jou

Abbot Primate of the Confederation

of Canons Regular of Saint Augustine

In 1974, the Right Reverend Dom Gebhard Koberger, then Abbot Primate of the Confederation of Canons Regular of Saint Augustine, ordered the Proper Masses for the use of the above Confederation to be printed. This edition had been prepared by a special Commission and confirmed by the Sacred Congregation for Divine Worship on 20 June 1970 (Ref.CD 1443/74).

Since copies of that first edition are no longer obtainable, and because in the intervening years a large number of other Masses, proposed by the Primatial Council, have been approved by the Sacred Congregation for Divine Worship at different times, it seemed appropriate, and indeed necessary, to prepare a new edition of our proper Masses.

Therefore we order this new Latin edition of all the Proper Masses including all those recently approved, and arranged by the Right Reverend Abbot Charles Egger CR, to be printed for the use of our Confederation.

Given at Martigny in Switzerland on the Feast of All Canon Regular Saints, 8 November 1984
