29 August - Fourteenth Sunday after Pentecost - Proper 17

Better late than never, right?

I have two lists for you today.

I cantored the 7.45 am Mass at Immaculate Conception Church. Jane was back at the console. She did mprovisations for voluntaries today. It's always a treat to hear her improvise. She's so good at it.

As usual, the numbers come out of GIA's Gather Comprehensive 1994 (green cover):

Sunday 7.45 am Mass: Twenty-Second Sunday in Ordinary Time
Processional Hymn: 662, Love divine, all loves excelling (HYFRYDOL)
Gloria: 176, New Mass for Congregations (C.T. Andrews)
Psalm: Psalm 68 (Guimont)
Gospel Acclamation: 177, Mode VI; Verse to Tone 6F ("Take my yoke upon you, says the Lord, and learn from me, for I am meek and humble of heart.")
Offertory Hymn: 646, I heard the voice of Jesus say (KINGSFOLD)
Sanctus: 180, People's Mass
Memorial Acclamation, Amen: 181-182, Danish Amen Mass
Agnus Dei: 184, Agnus Dei XVIII (in English)
Recessional: 614, O God, our help in ages past (ST. ANNE)

By the way, the improv for Communion was on Adoro Te Devote and the Postlude was an improv on St. Anne. I really enjoy Jane's improvs. ♥

This was Maggie Silton's last day with us. We're very sad to see her go and wish her all the best at Chapel of the Cross.

Click here to read her last sermon with us. She delivers wonderful homilies, and this one was probably one of the best she'd ever given.

Good luck, Maggie.
