Copyright on Liturgy text

[Phemie]

Wondering what process we need to follow to put together a booklet with the text for Night Prayer. We are hoping to pray it at the end of the formal adoration after the Mass of the Lord’s Supper and I want to make sure I’ve got all my ducks in a row ahead of time.

All modern texts of the Roman Rite liturgy are copyrighted by the Holy See, the USCCB, ICEL, or the publishing company responsible for them.

Here is ICEL’s copyright page:

lol
Good luck having a Court uphold copyright
begged off as being outside their jurisdiction
because the holy see is going to sue bob in minnieapolis for printing out copies of Sunday Evening Prayer II

Oh, you’d be surprised.

Besides, some of us are Catholic and wish to uphold and obey just laws.

Perhaps consult with your diocese, who might already have permission for such things.

Oops, I didn’t pick up on that when I reviewed before posting.

Good, it’s not too late to edit.

Thank you to those who responded. Looks like I’d be covered as long as I acknowledge ICEL in the way they prescribe.
