    Is there a way to download the whole book in one PDF file? I’d like to keep it on my computer for reference. Thank you for doing this – I’ve been following along online.

    1. Thanks, Cal. I thought the single PDF was there – but it seems not to be. All this, you probably realise, is reworking old files into new software. I have added a single PDF onto my “to do” list and will try to remember to add another response to this comment so that you see it – meanwhile you will just have to have a folder with several PDFs in it. Blessings.

    Dear Bosco,

    Thank you for this site!

    I have assembled your files into a single “Celebrating Eucharist” pdf of 3504 KB. I’d be happy to email it to you if you give me an address.

    With greetings from sunny Switzerland!

    1. Thanks, Paraic – the email address for this site is liturgy DOT co DOT nz AT gmail DOT com
      I will add the PDF to this page & mention that you put it together.
      Blessings!
