Lent IV (A • 2026) “Lætare

Mar 14

Greetings all—

Before we get started: Chrism Mass is Tuesday, March 31, at 2pm (11am warmup). Please plan attend if you can! More details to follow in the next day or two. It will be substantially the same as last year.

As a fun aside, here’s a throwback to last year when Stephanie and Tony went with me to Holy Family Radio where we discussed Sacred Music in general, as well as St. A’s. Here’s the link if you missed it last year:

Here is our ordo for this weekend:

Missa XVII Practice Tracks

A Note about the Psalm:

The refrain is the same, however there are simplified / shortened verses in the demo edition, so really, these tracks are only properly useful for the refrain itself.
