Novus Ordo

Richard Moore, a Naval Academy graduate and petroleum engineer, became a teacher of the Church’s sacred language in retirement and wrote practical guides to the Latin of the Mass. His wife Elizabeth painted the sacred art that accompanies them. A marketplace listing couldn’t do that work justice. They needed a home online that carries the reverence of the subject, tells the story behind it and points readers to the books.

We built a warm, reverent site that leads with the story and the beauty of the material, then guides visitors gently toward the books and the art.

• The story first

  Richard’s path from naval officer to Latinist frames the work, so visitors meet the author before anything is offered.

• The books, made clear

  “Novus Ordo: Rite of the Mass” is presented for what it teaches, with a direct path to buy.

• Room for the art

  Elizabeth Moore’s sacred paintings get their own gallery.

• Timeless design

  Warm tones, gold accents and refined typography suit the subject and read well on any device.

Novus Ordo now has an online home worthy of a life’s work. It tells the Moores’ story, showcases the books and the art, and gives readers a clear path to bring the Latin of the Mass into their own prayer.
