The music for this coming weekend is a repeat of Immaculate Conception, with three exceptions.  All numbers given are in Worship.

MUSIC FOR HOLY MASS

Mass Ordinary and Alleluia: same as last weekend

Entrance hymn: O come, O come, Emmanuel, #357

Responsorial Psalm: Let the Lord enter; he is King of glory, music by Richard Proulx (antiphon) and Joseph Gelineau (verses), #775

Offertory hymn: The Angel Gabriel from Heaven came, #695

Communion anthem: Alma Redemptoris Mater, music by Samuel Webbe
