A missal is a liturgical book containing all the instructions and texts necessary for the celebration of Mass throughout the year. All of the sung and spoken portions of the mass are combined into individual sections corresponding to each feast day, and are arranged according to the liturgical year. It is typically divided into three different sections according to the type of feast. Missals are frequently embellished with decorated initials, especially for important feasts, as well as before the texts for the Canon of the Mass. This English Missal page is for the dedication of a church, including communion and prayers.
