Singing the New Roman Missal

In Advent some of the words during Mass will change with the arrival of the New Roman Missal. The change in words also means a change in music. Thursday the group of musicians gathered to get a preview and sing some of the music together. Here is a sneak look at that:

A course on the biblical background to the texts of the Mass, using the New Roman Missal translations will begin soon.

Practically every part of the Mass finds inspiration from Scripture. It makes sense, then, that the better we understand the biblical background to the texts of the Mass, the better we will be able to appreciate and enter into all that we say at Mass.

Anticipating our welcoming of the new English translation of the Mass, we will offer a five-week scriptural tour through the prayers, hymns, and rituals of the Mass.

The method of study will include home preparation of reading and answering questions in the workbook. Video instruction and small group discussion will take place at the sessions.

The course will take place on Mondays, September 19 through October 17 at the Steinhausen Center. Morning (9:00-10:30 am) and evening (7:00-8:00 pm) will be offered.
