The extra psalm verses inserted into the Introit to cover the extended time taken incensing the high altar worked well last Sunday, so we will continue doing that whenever incense is used. I'm still thinking on how to cover the incensing at Offertory.

Sat 13 May: Our Lady of Fatima -- 100 years

From the MBIC bulletin for 07 May: "Saturday, May 13, for the 100 year anniversary of the Fatima apparitions, we will have a rosary and reading from Sr. Lucia's writings beginning at 7:30 a.m. followed by a special Basilican Feast Day Mass with a plenary indulgence [LINK]."

As this is an Indulgenced Basilican Feast Day, members of the Schola who are in attendance will provide music. The line-up for the Propers is at left, or here [LINK]. The sheet itself has a link to the song we will sing after Communion, The Thirteenth of May, a translation of a Portuguese folk song about the Fatima Event. [NOTE: I HAVE REVISED THE PROPERS SHEET LINKED ABOVE. IT WILL NO LONGER BE THE ONE WE PRACTICED TUESDAY NIGHT.]

I hope you all can make it. (I don't think we will worry with the robes, however.)
