THE FESTIVE THREE-DAY WEEKEND

This three-day weekend consists of the Solemnity of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, which, in the Ordinary Form of the Mass, takes place on the Friday after Corpus Christi, and the Solemnity of the Apostles Saints Peter and Paul, which falls on the fixed date of June 29.  Since the latter falls on a Sunday this year, it supersedes what would normally be the 13th Sunday of the Year.

Also, both of these Solemnities are patrons of ours, the former being the patron of our parish, and the latter being the patron of our cathedral.

The Brass Trio will be on hand for all Masses except for the 7:30 AM on Sunday.

So, without further ado...

Common to both feasts:
Ordinary of the Mass: Laus Tibi Christe, which we have sung the previous two weekends
Alleluia: Mode VI (also the same as the previous two weekends)
