Music Ministry

St. Mary’s Musicians - 

Welcome once again to Advent and the Christmas season. Please keep in mind:

1) There will be new copies of the Breaking Bread hymnals in the pews so the numbers may not match any old copies you have at home.

2) We don’t use the Gloria during Advent. However, we will use the Missa Simplex Kyrie. 

3) We will begin using the Missa Simplex on November 28/29.

4) As a reminder, below is the format to be used when announcing songs during Mass. 

“Good morning/evening, everyone. Welcome to St. Mary’s. Today we are celebrating _(example: the 4th Sunday in Ordinary Time, All Saints Day, etc.)__. Our opening song is number _(three one five)_, Let Us Go to the Altar,  number _(three hundred fifteen)_. Please stand.”
