19th in OT
Greetings All—
A few quick notes about Sunday: Our Fr. Weber chant will be during the offertory rather than communion this week (I want to chant the traditional communio from the Graduale Romanum since the text is better) and the communion hymn itself will likely be new to you. The offertory hymn is a tune we have done a handful of times, but less often than others. Both are a very beautiful hymns, but things you’ll likely want to have a listen to ahead of time.
