Mass of Thanksgiving for Leo XIV
Greetings All—
I hope that those of you who joined us for the Requiem Mass for Pope Francis and/or the Mass for the opening of the conclave will consider joining us once again this coming Monday, May 19 at 5:30pm for a Mass of Thanksgiving and celebration for the election of Pope Leo XIV.
In the interest of keeping this as straightforward and simple as possible, I’ve kept some of the propers as well as the ordinary the same. So if you learned the Kyrie/Offertorio/Communio/Sanctus/Agnus Dei last time, you’re already halfway there!
As is our custom, I’m humbly requesting you let me know you’re coming via this form so I can prepare the correct number of booklets. Warmups begin at 4:45 with those who can come early. Dress is “Sunday best”.
(Also, please mark your calendars for Deacon Paul’s ordination on Saturday, May 31 at 10am! More details to follow soon.)

Here is a special video I made for my last parish where we walk through the Sanctus step-by-step and learn each phrase “repeat after me” style.
