    The Feast of Sts. Peter and Paul (June 29) falls on a Sunday this year. I suppose there are a half dozen threads on this forum that have some of my texts for the feast on them, but if you're looking to find them all in one place, I've put them on the Chant Cafe here.

    It's our patronal feast, so yeah, I guess we'll do something ;-)

    Could one sing "By All Your Saints Still Striving"?

    I'm pretty sure that it's printed in hymnals with ecclesiastical approbation.

    By All Your Saints Still Striving - see second sheet for verses for Sts Peter and Paul. I most commonly use AURELIA for this hymn, as I prefer to keep St Theodulph for "All Glory, Laud and Honour."
