Mass of Spirit and Grace

Here’s a message from our music director, Chrissy Karliak.

Spirit and Grace
This weekend, January 18th, we will be introducing a new setting for the
common parts of the Mass.  The Mass of Spirit and Grace will be used this year during the Ordinary Time.  If you are interested, you can listen to the parts on this You Tube video:

If you have a chance to listen to it before you attend Mass this weekend you will be familiar with the tunes. The choir has been working on it for the past 2 weeks and picked it up rather quickly!  It is a beautiful setting!

When listening to the music, here are the times for each part:

  • The Gloria  00:00
  • Alleluia  02:10
  • Lenten Acclamation  05:48
  • Sanctus  07:20
  • We Proclaim  08:20
  • When We Eat  08:35
  • Save Us  09:35
  • Amen  10:14
  • Agnus Dei  11:28
At this time we will not be using the Alleluia or Lenten Acclamation, so you can skip those. We will be using the “When We Eat This Bread” acclamation for the time being.  Eventually the other acclamations will be introduced once we, as a congregation, are comfortable with the new setting.
We are looking forward to using this Mass setting to enhance our beautiful liturgies at St. Wendelin!  Thank you for your participation!
