Litany at Vigil
-
If there are no baptisms, only confirmations, do you still sing the Litany? My priest says 'yes' because you still have to bless the water. Is it really needed?
-
If the font is not to be blessed then the Litany is omitted. See RM Easter Vigil 42. If you are only blessing the water begin with No. 52 in the Missal.Thanked by 1bonniebede

Thank you Rob. You've helped me several times on this board and you seem to be very knowledgeable about matters of liturgical music. May I contact you directly in the future when I need help?
-
Certainly Chapman, feel free to ask any questions you may have.

NB. The font may still be blessed even if there are no baptisms (MR 40).
