All Souls (Sunday, 2025)

Oct 31

Hi friends,
Thanks again for an excellent rehearsal again. We had a lot to get through, and I’m so glad we did. Also, a special welcome to Cecilia (Soprano) and Keziah (Alto)!

For those of you who didn’t make it to rehearsal, there are a few extra bits and bobs for Sunday (notably, Exaltabo Te, Domine ) that you’ll want to make sure you’re prepared for, or just sit out.

Switching gears, we have the Mass for Deceased Clergy this coming Wednesday at 4pm. You are not required to sing, but I would be happy to have any/everyone who could be there and would like to sing. If you can be there, please let me know so I can prepare some scores for you. I will make a separate blog post with those selections for interested parties.

Now without further ado, here’s our Sunday Ordo:
