    Suggestion on for which Ordinary Setting to use for Pentecost? Mass VIII - Credo III is suggested for feasts of Ordinary Time, but Pentecost is considered the last Sunday of Easter?

    Yes, it is. (This is true for both the Ordinary Form and the Extraordinary Form.)

    > which Ordinary Setting to use?

    Ordinary I is the one appointed by the Graduale for Easter Season, but you can choose another one if it suits the capacity of your Schola better. (Again, this is true for both the Ordinary Form and the Extraordinary Form.)

    Any Credo will do, anytime. (And once more this is true...)

    I always thought that the Monday after Pentecost started Ordinary time, and that Pentecost was actually considered part of Easter. Can anyone help?

    From Fortescue (15th ed.):
    Eastertide (Tempus Paschale) begins with the first Easter Mass and ends after None and Mass on the Saturday before the feast of the Blessed Trinity, which feast is kept on the first Sunday after Pentecost.
