Re: New Translation of the Lectionary incoming

I thought "they" were aiming for Pentecost. Do you mean Penticost this year or next? The last info that I had was Advent this year. The Lectionary is supposed to be used from Advent ...... but it was supposed to be made available to composers at Pentecost so they could start getting setti...

Re: Triduum Planning

We tend to keep things much the same from year to year as much of the sung stuff is specific to those liturgies. Our PP has been seriously ill and may not be back for HW, so that adds an extra level of possible hiccups "on the night" with visiting priests. We have 4 OT readings. Luckily we...

Re: Olives or Palms?

Years ago we went to Palm Sunday Mass in Dubrovnik when it was still part of Yugoslavia. People took foliage from their own gardens to Mass for the procession ..... which I guess is what happened on that first Palm Sunday. There was a great variety of plants on show.

For a country with a small Catholic population we do seem to have more than our fair share of cardinals. NB, I do like it that the parish newsletter of St Vincent de Paul Liverpool refers to...
