Music Notes:

Readings are found in the hymnal under the headings
"Sunday A" and "Weekday 2".

This weekend at the Saturday 5 pm Vigil Mass the Music
is led by the School Choir (directed by Rebecca Monson).

Lent begins this Wednesday. Church documents require minimal
instrument use hence no Preludes or Postludes. Please maintain
Silence before and after every Mass throughout Lent.

The Communion Antiphon (Graduale Romanum Chant Proper):
Beate mundo corde, quoniam ipsi Deum videbunt: beati pacifici,
quoniam filii Dei vocabuntur: beati qui persecutionem patiuntur
propter iustitiam, quoniam ipsorum est regnum caelorum (Blessed
are the pure in heart, for they shall see God; blessed are the
peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God; blessed are
those who suffer persecution for the sake of justice, for theirs
is the kingdom of heaven).
