As we enter the season of Lent, we'd like to share the musical changes that started with Ash Wednesday.
- We will not sing the Gloria or Alleluia. We reserve those more joyous, glorious mass parts for Easter!
- We will change our mass setting to the Mass of Angels and Saints to help mark a change in the season and set a more penitential tone
- We will chant the Kyrie, The Lord's Prayer (Our Father), and Agnus Dei
Please listen to these mass parts on the Youtube playlist
HERE, so that you may more fully participate in the masses this Lent!
You will also notice the same opening hymn each week. This is done with the intention setting the tone for our Lenten celebrations, as we meditate on the words and prayer of the song. Lord, we ask you to “send down your mercy to set us free” as you “lead [us] to the cross.”
We hope that the music this Lent will serve to deepen your prayer and worship at mass as we journey together.
In Christ,
Josh and Marie
