    Its hard to believe we have been in our new church for a year.

    The Roman Missal III Edition has this:
    Entrance Antiphon Ps 68 (67): 36
    Wonderful are you, O God in your holy place.
    The God of Israel himself gives his people strength and courage.
    Blessed be God (E.T. alleluia)!

    and this

    Communion Antiphon C f. 1 Cor 3: 16-17
    You are the temple of God, and the Spirit of God dwells in you.
    The temple of God, which you are, is holy (E.T. alleluia).

    neither the Lumen Christi Missal nor "By Flowing Waters" has these antiphons for the Common of Dedication.
    What do you all do for your dedication anniversary Mass?

    I would use Peter R. Johnson's collection, available here. The Common of the Dedication of a Church begins on p. 357.

  • Who is Peter Johnson? This looks excellent.

    Yes, I've never seen those before, but I especially like his SATB version that he directs you to in the introductory material. It's basically fully notated Anglican-style chant propers for the full Church year. Had no idea it existed!

    Thank you for the link and I just ordered the SATB Psalm Tones from Lulu. Very nice.

    I should mention that Peter R. Johnson also has a SATB version of his propers, available on this thread. See the bottom post (Book 3. pdf).
