Quick notes:
James will chant the Offertory Antiphon & Communion Antiphons in Latin
Communion hymn is a new melody in an unusual meter, but it is not hard. There are the same number of pulses in each line, and each cadence begins on the same beat, which is indicated with lyrics that are bold & italic
The entire “ordinary” (mass parts) is in the worship aid
printouts are prepared for you for the Psalm, Alleluia (good for multiple weeks) as well as the Entrance & Offertory hymns.

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:
