20th in OT (A • 2026)
Hello Friends—
Here’s our ordo for this Sunday, for those who can make it. FWIW, Fr. Arul’s bishop is visiting from India, so if we could manage a fuller showing, that would be appreciated, though you are certainly under no obligation.
And before I get sidetracked any further, in case you haven’t seen my series of catechetical videos, here is a helpful blogpost that collates most of them into one place. You’ve all heard me rant before (lol) but I’m sure there’s something new in some of them that you haven’t heard before.

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.
