Liturgy Music Program: The weekly music program as well as the music program for the Holy Days is listed on the left column of this page. Each week is presented as a pdf file that is printable and downloadable. The printed music is available in the music section of the page. When available, links to recordings on YouTube will be provided. For copyright reasons, this page does not host audio recording of the music for our celebrations unless those are in the Public Domain (which is rare).
Cantors at Our Lady's: Some of our cantors are members of the schola, the teenage advanced music group, specializing in traditional classical church repertoire from the Renaissance to the modern times. We also have adult cantors. The other cantors are younger and participate in leading the assembly in songs for our youth celebrations, children's masses and other masses as well. Cantors rehearse on Thursday from 5pm to 6 pm and also 40 ns prior to the mass they cantor. Cantors who are also members of the schola rehearse instead on Thursday from 6 pm to 7 pm. See Schedules and Notes for Cantors.
Adult Choir Personal Resources: Members of the choir should always have the following resources:
In addition each should also have a three ring binder with the solo and choir music sung as well as additional music not in the Missalette or in the Hymnal. A listing of all the pieces to be in the folder will be provided shortly.
Lenten Season in 2018: Our Lenten Season starts earlier this year with Ash Wednesday on February 14. The five Sundays of Lent from Feb 14 to Saturday March 24, 2018. Palm/Passion Sunday will be on March 25, 2018. Holy Week (Triduum) will be as follows: Holy Thursday, March 29, Good Friday, March 30 Easter Vigil will take place on March 31st and Easter Sunday on April 1st. No it is not an April's Fool Day joke. Easter is coming early this year. By the way, I am often asked the question of the date of Easter. The Catholic Church follows the Roman tradition. Easter Sunday falls on the first Sunday that follows the first full moon that follows the 21st of March. We look at the spring and March 21st. We look at the first full moon after that. The Sunday immediately after that is Easter Sunday."
