Propers for two feasts?

Chris Garton-Zavesky

Do any of our English interlocutors know of Proper Masses for St. John Fisher or St. Thomas More? Today is the feast of St. John Fisher, or so my wife tells me, and at one point, Fisher and More shared a feast day??

Help, please.

Also: does anyone know of already composed, published prayers for the intercession of these two saints?

As found in the Traditional calendar...

St. John Fisher and Thomas More have their Feast (First Class) on July 9th.
In the N.O. form their feast is on the Feast of St. Alban protomartyr of England, 22nd June.

Propers for July 11th can be found here,
https://lms.org.uk/proper-chants-england-wales#Fisher & More

The Missal also has the following,

Votive Mass of St. John Fisher is 'Statuit' with Proper Collects
Votive Mass of St. Thomas More is 'In Virtute' with Proper Collects and the Epistle is from the July 9th Feast.

At one stage they had separate Feasts before they were canonised, will post this information below,

June 27th B. John Fisher
Mass, Gaudeamus as found on the Feast of St. Josaphat, with Proper Collect

July 11th B Thomas More
Mass, In Virtute with Proper Collect.

Mass texts for the Feasts can be found here, https://societyofstbede.wordpress.com/propers-for-england-and-wales/
We will post pre-1962 (c. 1930's) supplements shortly, for those using the Ancient unadulterated Missal.

The Divine Office texts are more of a problem,
I have a copy of the Complete supplement for England and Wales for the Day Hours from 1935.

I also have a supplement (dated 1937) in the back of a Liber Usualis dated 1952.
