December 24, 2012

Hello! I hope that everyone is excited -- we are getting ready for the Christmas Eve mass !! We will be singing at the kids' mass on December 24th. The mass begins at 5, so please arrive at church by 3:45 so we have lots of time to practice. Remember that sometimes the children who are reading in the mass need to practice too and it takes away some of our time, so the earlier we get there the better! And make sure you are dressed nice. We don't have to wear the same colors, but please wear your Holiday Best. :)
Here is the list of music, which we will practice this Thursday at 7:00 PM

Entrance: O Come, All Ye Faithful 
               Angels We Have Heard On High (instead of our normal "Glory to God") Please listen to this different -- AND FUN -- version :)
Acclamation: Alle, Alle, Alleluia (#24 Caribbean Mass)
Offertory: Away In A Manger 
               Holy (#980 Mass of Creation)

               When We Eat This Bread (#981 Mass of Creation)
               Doxology and Amen (#982 Mass of Creation)
               Lamb of God (Agnus Dei)

Communion: Silent Night
                   What Child Is This

Our usual calendar..nothing new for February...

Welcome ! ♪ ♫

Hello !

this is a test post :)

I'm setting up this "blog" just because when we have new stuff it's easier for me to put up songs and announcements on a site that everyone can see rather than to try to e-mail everyone. . . at a working e-mail address . . .that they'll actually check. lol

We'll see if this is useful or not but I think it might be :)

Hasta luego !
