Explaining the revised translation


We had our last in the series of four talks in the parish hall this evening, with cakes!

The session focussed on the changes in the Eucharistic prayers and concluding rites.
It ended with the deeper emphasis on singing that the translation will usher in, as the Missal will now include more in the way of simple chants to accompany the prayers.

Following the diocesan music day last Saturday, we have decided to introduce the new 'Belmont Mass'; this setting is quite simple and dignified and draws on plainchant in a modern way. We will begin to learn it over the next few Sundays and copies of the music have been ordered for everyone. Here's hoping everyone will take to it!
