The UCCCB calendar shows us celebrating "Memorial of Saint Pio of Pietrelcina, priest" on Sunday 9/23/2012. Their web page ( http://www.usccb.org/bible/readings/092312.cfm ) shows the readings (but not antiphons) for the day. My question is whether there are official chant propers for that mass. (JoguesChant shows the 25OrdB chants for that Sunday.)
Yes, it's a Monday. We have a 1st-class relic of Padre Pio, and there will 150 people coming, including the gentleman who was an altar boy at San Giovanni who donated to us the relic.
So, would the propers come from the Common of Pastors or Common of Holy Men and Women?
Either one is OK. If you want, you can check your diocesan ordo booklet to see if a preference is expressed there. I looked on-line, and found the ordo for Portsmouth, England: it said the Preface could be taken either from Pastors or Saints (=Holy Men and Women).
