Corpus Christi (C • 2025)
Greetings All—
Thank you for your flexibility with rehearsal scheduling this week due to the weather. Better safe than sorry!
I’m sending out this ordo early so that people who cannot attend tomorrow’s rehearsal can still spend a little of their choir time looking things over this evening.
In an effort to make things much easier for everyone involved, I’ve gone back to the drawing board and made our worship aid into a full booklet so everything flows properly and we can eschew the need for inserts. Hopefully this helps you all enter into the Mass just as much as the congregation. 🙂
So without further ado:
