Line-up for SUN 12 NOV: 23rd SUNDAY AFTER PENTECOST (plus upcoming Daily Mass Feasts, a preview of the 23+nth Sunday's Introit -- and It's Time to Start Prepping for Advent)

Why "23+nth Sunday"? Because the number of Sundays after Pentecost are liturgically set at 24, yet in reality vary anywhere from 24 to 28, yet the last Sunday is always celebrated as the 24th, those in-between are supernumeraries. In practice, the Propers are repeats of the 23rd Sunday while other parts of the Mass are repeats from earlier in the liturgical year, from the period after Epiphany which varies in length inversely to that after Pentecost.

Before I get the practice line-up, I'd like to quote something I put up on Facebook: "I'd like to thank the members of the Schola in attendance Thursday night for the All Souls Day Vespers service and Blessing of the Graves. Especially I thank Roxanne for joining both with organ accompaniment as well as vocally and Tommy for supporting the congregations singing from downstairs. The overall effect was quite moving and well received by all. You all are the best." I mean that.

 Practice 5:30pm Tuesday 07 November, back at the Basilica. The bad news is the Introit is rather complex; the good news is we get to use it for a couple of weeks. It's also time to start brushing up on Mass XII, as well as learning the Asperges, which current plans have beginning on the First Sunday of Advent. And Thursday is the Feast of the Dedication of St. John Lateran. Probably another busy practice....
