March 29 Palm Sunday

Mass at 5:30 pm at Old Town

Rehearsal in the kitchen at 5:00 for those singing propers only. We will not sing anything other than the ordinaries of the mass as a choir this week due to the sheer volume of propers. The entire liturgy is close to 2.5 hours long--just so you are aware and prepared.

The shape of this liturgy is very different. Prior to the Mass, blessing of the palms, distribution of the palms, and a procession occur. CP and MM will cantor this section of the liturgy. The men will sing the entirety of the Mass.
