Which proper? for a parish anniversary.
  • I just received word that on the 28th sunday of the year we will celbrate the anniversary of the parish : the orations will be taken from the "Dedication of the Church" , but the readings will be for the 28th Sunday cycle B. The schola will sing introit and communion propers. Which propers?

    I'd go with Introit and Communion of 28th/B, then adding Communion from Dedication of a Church as a 'commemorative.' IIRC, you cannot change Propers unless the readings are also switched.
  • Good! Then we only need to learn one proper for the two Masses we are singing. and Thanks.

    I just want to confirm what is mentioned in this post, that you "cannot change Propers unless the readings are also switched". I had found it in writing that you must do the Responsorial Psalm that goes with the readings, but I didn't find anything about the introit, offertory or communio. Does anyone have more information?

    Thanks.

    Darcy--

    If your question concerns an anniversary of dedication, the calendar in the Roman Missal (US 2011) ranks it as a solemnity (pp. 118-119). Solemnities have their own readings and propers. On the other hand, the rubrics allow all propers to be replaced by "another liturgical chant" (p. 30).
