Singing Ordinaries in Latin on Sunday Mass may be a norm in many parishes, but not here until now. Explainning about Gregorian chant in the church bulletin like this is a major improvement in this parish. (Our schola has been singing them for last 2 years on Saturday mornings. Finally changes are happening. This is a small victory for us that I wanted to share with you, and we are very happy)

From the church bulletin;

"Gregorian Chants for Beginners: Sanctus = Holy; Agnus = Lamb
Throughout Lent we will be singing the Sanctus (#316) and the Agnus Dei (#320) during Sunday Mass. They are
chanted during the Eucharistic Prayer immediately preceding Holy Communion.
With Latin being the official language of the Roman Catholic Church, the Gregorian chant provides us with a
venerable and beautiful style of music dating back to the 9th century, and is one of many rich traditions that help
keep us rooted in our faith and connected to the history of our church. The Church acknowledges Gregorian chant
as specially suited to the Roman liturgy: therefore, other things being equal, it should be given pride of place in
liturgical services.

This excerpt comes from the recent document, Sing to
the Lord, regarding music in the liturgy.
