THE HOLY FAMILY OF JESUS, MARY, AND JOSEPH

NOTE: The 12:30 Extraordinary Form Mass has been suspended for now, due to lack of attendance (over the last couple of months, that Mass has averaged a measly 20 people).

MUSIC FOR HOLY MASS

Sung Ordinary of the Mass:
- 7:30 Mass only: Mass XVIII (chant Mass setting)
- All other Masses: Mass of the Shepherds (Pietro Yon)
- ALL Masses: Memorial Acclamation is Mortem tuam annuntiamus, Domine; Amen: Dresden
Alleluia: Alleluia "Divinum Mysterium" (Mode V, adapted by yours truly)

All numbers are in the Maroon hymnal.

Entrance hymn: Angels we have heard on high, #42
Psalm 105: The Lord remembers his covenant for ever, music by yours truly
Offertory hymn: It came upon the midnight clear, #19, second tune
Communion anthem: Coventry Carol, English, arranged by Martin Shaw
- This Sunday (December 28) is the feast of the Holy Innocents when it falls on a weekday.  The verses of the Communion anthem revisit the events.  Note this second verse: Herod the King, in his raging, / charg-ed he hath this day / his men of might, in his own sight, / all young children to slay.
Meditation hymn: What child is this, #36
Recessional hymn: Hark! the herald angels sing, #27

Peace,
