Parishes are sometimes cautious about switching from a disposable subscription missal program to a permanent one because they are confronted with an up-front price that is higher than what has been budgeted for in the current year. Additionally, pastors are sometimes concerned about saddling a parish with something for years, fearing that once the permanent resource has been purchased, it must be used for a decade or more to be worth the investment.
The truth, though, is that the Lumen Christi Missal – a complete, permanent replacement for your disposable missal program – will pay for itself in under three years!
Let’s take a look at the numbers and compare:
If a parish keeps the LCM in their pews for 2.5 years, it will have broken completely even. If, for whatever reason, the parish had a desire to move back to a subscription missal after this time, they could do so without having lost a cent.
However, when a parish keeps the LCM in their pews for 10 years (or longer!), they will save upwards of $34,000, if not more!
In a time of constant economic insecurity, the Lumen Christi Missal is a way be a good steward of your parish’s limited resources.
Our own Jeffrey Tucker reviewed the LCM here. You can place an order here.
