MUSIC MINISTRY PRAYER REQUESTS
All our SMM Parishioners who have passed in January.
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

No drums/brass during Lent. Overall, reduced instrumentation. NO POSTLUDES.
“In Lent the playing of the organ and musical instruments is allowed only in order to support the singing. Exceptions, however, are Laetare Sunday (4th Sunday of Lent), Solemnities, and Feasts.” (GIRM#313) At SMM we will have no instrumental prelude or postlude music, except by the handbells on the 4th Sunday of Lent. If using the organ for Mass music, please reduce the sound throughout the Lenten season.
Cantor Shelf Hymnals: Journeysongs; Gather 4; Gather 3, Choose Christ, Spirit & Song, Breaking Bread
In the back room behind the organ I have the following resources available:
Keyboard Cabinet: Journeysongs; Gather 4; Gather 3; Green Gather; Choose Christ; Spirit & Song; Lead Me, Guide Me; Breaking Bread
Guitar/Instrumentalist Cabinet: Journeysongs Guitar; Journeysongs Instrumental; Gather 4 C Instrument; Choose Christ Guitar; Spirit & Song Guitar
I try my best to maintain a printed copy of any sheet music not in those resources in the binder in the piano bench.
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.
