I Lent and Stations of the Cross

Stations of the Cross

As per custom, Stations of the Cross is held on Fridays during Lent and Holy Week at 12:05 PM in the Chapel, and on Tuesdays during Lent and Holy Week at 7:00 PM in the Church.  The Tuesday Stations of the Cross contains music accompanied by the organ.

At the entrance, and at each station we sing selected verses of the Stabat Mater (At the Cross Her Station Keeping) in English, as given in the booklet provided.

Holy Communion is also included in the Stations.

We chant the Agnus Dei from Mass XVIII (the simple chant).

During Communion, we alternate by week:

- Jesus, my Lord, my God, my All (Worship hymnal, #488) (on Weeks I, III, and V of Lent)

- Let thy Blood in mercy poured (Maroon hymnal, #190) (on Weeks II and IV of Lent and in Holy Week)

The recessional hymn is Lift High the Cross (Worship hymnal, #704)

First Sunday of Lent

The 5:00 PM Saturday Mass and the 7:30 and 9:00 AM Masses are in the Ordinary Form.  The 11:15 AM this weekend will be the Anglican Use Mass.  Traditional Mass texts, but in English (though some sung Ordinary in Latin).

Also, beginning with this weekend, the Creed (I believe in one God...) will be chanted in English at all Masses (except 7:30 AM).  Music is on laminated cards in the pew rack.  Click here to listen.  This music will also be played as the prelude before all Masses this weekend.
