Confirmation 2021

Greetings friends—
Confirmation is this coming Wednesday, Oct. 27th at 7pm. If you are able, I’d like to meet no later than 6:30 to briefly warm up before Mass. I will be up in the loft earlier than that, so if you can make it or you’d like to go over anything personally before then, I will be there.

Here is our ordo for that Mass:

• Ordinary: Olbash

• Procession of the Confirmands: Dum Sanctificatus

• Processional Hymn: Come, Holy Ghost, Creator Blest (Tune: Lambilotte)

• Psalm 117 “You will be My witnesses to all the world.”

• Gospel Acclamation: “Alleluia for the Feast of Christ the King” with the special tag / coda at the end. (We will obviously sing the version with the confirmation verse; the video below omits the verses all together and simply plays a short intro, sings the refrain the last time and segues directly into the choral tag/coda.)

• During the anointing of the confirmands: Veni Creator chant in alternatum with organ, every other verse.

• Offertory: Lead Me, Lord by SS Wesley.

• Communion Antiphon 1: Confirma Hoc Deus

• Communion Antiphon 2: Qui vult venire post me (Latin, with English verses)

• Communion Antiphon 3: Factus Est (we will sing this only if if is needed; I’ve decided that since it’s a bit involved and we only had one refresher with it, I’ll chant the refrain and the choir will do the verses.)

• Communion Hymn: O Breathe on Me, O Breath of God

• Recessional Hymn: Sing Praise to the Lord
