MASS LEAFLETS

During the Seasons of Advent and Christmas, we are debuting Mass Leaflets. These leaflets will be available before all Masses and will more carefully integrate music and liturgical aspects of our weekend Masses. These leaflets will contain all the sung Mass parts, some of the congregational hymns, the responsorial psalm refrain, the alleluia, and other musical aspects. Occasionally, for example, the choir will sing an anthem in Latin: the leaflet will contain the original Latin text as well as the English translation. The leaflet will contain most of the spoken responses that the congregation says: the creed, several of the dialogues, and the occasional solemn blessing at the end of Mass; it will also contain the scripture readings and their responses. We hope that these Mass leaflets will make the liturgy more user friendly and be a good resource for visitors and non-Catholics who might visit the Cathedral during the holiday sea-son
