Volunteers Needed

The second major phase of our research involves the entry of the sanctoral calendars into the Missal database. This is no easy task, since the average Sanctorale contains about 2,200 entries. (Multiplied by 34+ sources, this means over 75,000 records.) So far Augsburg, Bamberg, and Brandenburg have been completed, but the task took nearly 6 weeks.

We are looking for volunteers to help accelerate this phase of the research. Would you like to be part of this historic project, while learning better to read and decipher these treasured manuscripts? Knowledge of Latin is not necessarily required, though any skill with the language will certainly be helpful.

If you are interested in speeding along the production of The Lutheran Missal, please email Fr. Evan Scamman: escamman at gmail dot com.

Phase 2 is now nearing completion, thanks to the help of more than half a dozen volunteers over the past four months. However, there is much left to do, and this is a worthy project. Please email if you’d like to be involved.

EDIT: 2/8/2020
Phase 2 is finished and work has begun on the final phase of data entry: Common and Votive masses. More than a dozen volunteers are hard at work, but there is room for more. Please email if you’d like to help out.
