Best for: Communities that use Source & Summit as their primary missal and hymnal resource.

Companion Edition

The Source & Summit Missal, Companion Edition, is designed for parishes that are using a separate hymn resource and contains no hymnal section. Additionally, it contains the priestly Orations, or Presidential Prayers (Collect, Prayer over the Offerings, Prayer after Communion) and an expanded selection of devotional prayers. Otherwise, it is identical to the Standard Edition.
