As we approach the new liturgical year, we would usually be preparing to put our new worship resources in the church. With the renovation of the church we initially had determined that we would not have books in the pews, but they would be picked up from carts. However, with the onset of the pandemic and subsequent guidelines we will not have printed worship resources in the church for the foreseeable future. We do want to provide resources (print and online) in case you would like access to missals (order of the Mass), lectionary (scripture readings), and/or hymnals (music for Mass).
For English Masses our primary resource we will be using is the Glory and Praise Hymnal (3rd Edition). This includes an order of Mass, readings, and music. We have copies of this hymnal available for purchase at a cost of $17 per person and is good for all years. You can order one by filling out this online form, emailing abeeken@cdlex.org, or calling the parish office. If you need assistance in purchasing a copy, please let us know.
For Spanish Masses our primary resources is Flor Y Canto (3rd Edition). This includes the the order of Mass and music. We have hundreds of copies of this available for personal use and available to you for free. To request a copy please fill out this online form, email abeeken@cdlex.org, or contact the parish office.
There are many other resources for access to reading. As a parish we will not be providing these resources at this time, but we have provided a list of many options (print and online / free and for purchase). If you have any questions about this change please contact Adam Beeken, director of music ministries, abeeken@cdlex.org.
