I'm not the most internet saavy person around, so perhaps someone can help me.
I have been looking for some docuмent or some official announcement from the Conciliar vatican or a publishing company or news service or something confirming that indult communities will be required to use a "new 1962 missal" beginning with the First Sunday of Advent, 2012. I have been completely unable to locate anything in English.
Before I start telling people I know about this, I would like something official on the internet that I could point people to. I was also looking for a website that described the changes that are coming with the new missal. The only place I could find is this topic on CathInfo.
Can anyone else locate something? Thanks.
TKGS,
After reading this article (below), we personally called Baronius Press who publishes for the Vatican and they confirmed that the "new 1962 Missal" was in the process of being printed and would be out "sometime next year" I saw recently an advertisement and ordered the booklet but they sent the wrong thing. Now, the advertisement is gone from their webpage. I have sent them an email this morning to see what they have to say. They may want to keep it quiet for now waiting for +Fellay to sign? I can't understand why I'm not finding much either. I'll keep looking and post if I find.
The tel. for Baronius Press are: USA 814-414-0245
and for UK 44 (0)870 112 3865 maybe someone in the UK can call them for you and post their reply.
By the way, this new 1962 missal is only the initial missal for the reform of the reform. Not to be confused with the 2007 edition from Baronius Press after Summorum Pontificuм.

Vatican Diary / The pope's alms and other curiosities
Almost a million euro obtained in 2010 from the sale of pontifical blessings has been given to seven thousand needy families. Another 135 million has been distributed by Propaganda Fide in assistance to mission territories. And it has also been learned...

VATICAN CITY, September 19, 2011 – "The activity of the Holy See" is a hefty volume that gives a year-by-year account of the actions of the pope and the Roman curia. It is an "unofficial publication," as specified on the frontispiece, but in spite of this it contains not a little information, sometimes rather unusual, that cannot be found in other Vatican sources.To verify this it is enough to leaf through the latest edition, on the activities of 2010, which has just been printed by Libreria Editrice Vaticana (1343 pp., 80.00 euro).
In it we learn, for example:- that last year the disciplinary office of the congregation for the doctrine of the faith opened 643 procedures, 82 percent of which concern "delicta graviora" (which include the sɛҳuąƖ abuse of minors by clergy), 8 percent "offenses against the faith," 3 percent "cases of apparitions," and 7 percent other matters of various kinds.
- that during the same period, the congregation for divine worship and the discipline of the sacraments dealt with several hundred cases regarding requests for papal dispensations in order to remarry after a marriage "ratified but not consummated." A dispensation that was granted in 301 cases, and withheld in 2.
- that the congregation for the evangelization of peoples gave, through the pontifical society for the propagation of the faith (whose charitable fund, however, has been "significantly" reduced because of the economic recession), more than 85 million dollars in assistance to dioceses in mission territory. More than 30 million was distributed through the pontifical society of St. Peter the Apostle. And more than 19 million through the pontifical society of missionary childhood.
- that the Roman Rota, whose jurisprudence is a model for all the ecclesiastical tribunals in the world, during the judicial year of 2010 issued 175 definitive verdicts on the nullity of marriage, the majority of them (93 versus 82) in favor of nullity.
- that the pontifical council for legislative texts, at the direction of the pope, set up four study groups in view of a possible revision of parts of the code of canon law, on questions of penal law, procedural law, marriage and family law, and the relationships between the code of the Latin Church and that of the Eastern Churches.
- that a joint commission was set up, with experts of the commission "Ecclesia Dei" and of the congregation for divine worship, for the "updating" of the commemorations of the saints and the "possible insertion of new prefaces" into the preconciliar Roman missal of 1962, to which Benedict XVI gave full citizenship in 2007.- that the office of papal charities, in response to almost seven thousand letters from individuals and families requesting help, provided "with discretion" and "on a day-by-day basis," in the name of the pope, a sum "close to one million euro." A sum entirely covered by the contributions received for parchments with apostolic blessings requested by the faithful: 115,500 parchments issued directly by the office of papal charities, and 112,00 distributed through almost eighty partner organizations.
