Directory for Catechesis (2020)
This is a real surprise to me... Should be a slam dunk for anyone doing the work of teaching the faith. The essential companion for the Catechism of the Catholic Church (what we teach) the Directory for Catechesis (how we teach it) should be in every library.
Yes, an essential update to the 1997 General Directory for Catechesis also by the Holy See.

"The Jerome Biblical Commentary for the Twenty-First Century" - Third Fully Revised Edition
I do have an older (very old) Logos edition of The Jerome Biblical Commentary. Now I use Verbum and would like the current version of the premier Catholic commentary to complement the others I use in the 'Verbum 9 Platinum International'.

The New Testament Rendered From the Original Greek with Explanatory Notes (Kleist & Lilly)
Title: The New Testament Rendered From the Original Greek with Explanatory Notes
Authors: James A. Kleist, S.J., and Joseph L. Lilly, C.M.
Publisher: The Bruce Publishing Company, Milwaukee WI
Copyright/Published 1956
No ISBN
LCCN: 54-7889https://www.amazon.com/Testament-Rendered-Original-Greek-Explanatory-Notes/dp/B001443ZO4
I believe this is only the 2nd complete New Testament translated into English from Greek by Catholics (the 1st being by F. A. Spencer, O.P.). The objective was to provide the laity with an easy-to-understand version taken from the Greek. The annotations are modest but useful.

The New Testament: St. Paul Catholic Edition
The New Testament: St. Paul Catholic Edition
Author: Wauck, Mark A.
Pauline Books & Media (Daughters of St. Paul)
Copyright 2000, by the Society of St. Paul
ISBN: 0819851396https://www.amazon.com/New-Testament-St-Paul-Catholic/dp/0819851396
Very interesting and readable translation. Quite conversational in tone, reflecting the common-folk character of the Koine, but not particularly "dynamic" in approach. Great for a 3rd or 4th NT text.

New Catholic Bible (2019 NCB)

- Catholic Book Publishing Corp., Totowa New Jersey
- Text copyright 2019. Saint Joseph Edition NCB copyright 2020.
- ISBN: 9781947070820 (among others)
https://www.amazon.com/St-Joseph-Ncb-Student-Catholic/dp/1947070827
This is not a version of the New American Bible, but a new translation from the original tongues, overseen by Rev. Jude Winkler, OFM Conv., and approved for private use. Leaning toward the "formal" in translation philosophy, it nicely balances the priorities of accuracy and readability. The annotations are copious and expository, not obsessed with the theories of "higher criticism" like the NABRE too often is. A really nice Catholic Bible that deserves wide usage.
