Baltimore Book of Prayers

By Third Plenary Council of Baltimore

If the greatest legacy of the Council of Baltimore in 1884 was the Baltimore Catechism, a close second was this definitive book of prayers. Issued in 1889 to fulfill that council's call for an authoritative and comprehensive compilation of traditional prayers and devotions in English, this magnificent 672-page collection became the constant companion of laity and clergy and a devotional mainstay of Catholic families for generations.

This manual is a window into Catholic piety and worship as practiced in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. It remains the gold standard for other traditional books of prayer and an invaluable treasure trove of the rich heritage of our Faith. In these timeless pages, you will discover:
