Q: Since the recent promulgation of “Holy Communion and Worship of the Eucharistic Mystery Outside Mass,” is its rite for Holy Communion outside Mass to be used on Sundays, or do we still use the “Sunday Celebrations in the Absence of a Priest?” Or is SCAP superseded by the new rite? There are some differences between the two (deacon vesture, and concluding prayer, etc.).
My apologies if you have already answered this question, but I can’t seem to find clear guidance on this.
Thank you for your ministry!

A: The two books are different, so the new translation of HCWEMOM does not affect SCAP.
The new translation simply replaces the first translation of the very same book. The application of SCAP depends on your bishop’s directives.
