This Saturday, as you probably all know, is our Italian Heritage Mass (5 PM) followed by the dinner/dance at the Quonset O Club. Msgr. Carlo Montecalvo will be the celebrant at the Mass. There will be Mass programs placed next to the bulletins as you enter the church. The readings are for the Eighteenth Sunday through the year, but the hymnody for this Mass differs from Sunday's Mass (the "regular" Mass, or, quoting President Warren Harding in 1920, "return to normalcy") ;)
We have also brought an old friend back to life - the number board! In addition to numbers, I made some "letter cards" to place next to each number to indicate which book the hymn is found. They go as follows:
PM = Ignatius PEW MISSAL (the paperback missal)
MH = MAROON HYMNAL (simply titled "The Hymnal")
RW = RED WORSHIP hymnal
So, without further ado...
