MUSIC MINISTRY PRAYER REQUESTS
All our SMM Parishioners who have passed.
MONTHLY PRAYER
Christ with me, Christ before me, Christ behind me,
Christ in me, Christ beneath me, Christ above me,
Christ on my right, Christ on my left,
Christ when I lie down, Christ when I sit down,
Christ in the heart of every man who thinks of me,
Christ in the mouth of every man who speaks of me,
Christ in the eye that sees me,
Christ in the ear that hears me.
I arise today
Through a mighty strength, the invocation of the Trinity,
Through a belief in the Threeness,
Through a confession of the Oneness
Of the Creator of creation.
Prayer of St. Patrick
MASS SETTING FOR LENT
As we prepare for Lent we will use the ICEL chants from the Roman Missal. Click here to access recordings.
Gospel Acclamation – Mass of SMM with different verses for each week.
Recordings of each verse are linked on the Liturgy Spreadsheet.
NOTE: There is NO transition measure between the Gospel Acclamation Verse back to the refrain. Omitted the 6/8 measure. Simply “lift for a pause” and all come back in together on the refrain.
For Easter we use the Mass of Saint Ann and Festival Alleluia. Click here to access recordings.

There is always a copy of every song for the liturgy prepare in the cantor binder. I’m always willing to provide printed copies of music in advance, but I need at least 48 hours notice in the rare case I am not around when you ask.
