Live Sunday

I am not sure if it was us - or what - but the CCCB Publications website has exceeded its bandwidth because of all the people accessing the Music Downloads! Wow - this is a sign of how many parishes across this country are preparing for the implementation of the New Roman Missal and using "Celebrate in Song" from the Canadian Bishops.
This Sunday we went "LIVE" with our new translation sung parts of the Mass (Setting A).  Fr. Sherwin expressed his excitement - and I echo it! We have made a great beginning!  It was so great to hear the refrain in the Gloria sung so well at each Mass.  It will only get stronger!  I know it is a long Gloria - yet as you begin to feel comfortable - you are welcome to sing along with the part noted as being for the cantor/choir!


Thank you to our Musicians for all their hard work in preparing and rehearsing - and to you for "making a joyful noise unto the Lord!"
I think it will be a short time before we are used to the acclamations during the Eucharistic Prayer (Holy Holy, Memorial Acclamation, & Great Amen).  In short order these will be second nature to us...


Peace
P.S. Geoffrey is Assistant Captain for the entire year!
