Liturgical Memos
June 7: Solemnity of the Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ A procession of the Blessed Sacrament may take place on this day or on another appropriate day near this feast (see page 2).
June 23: Vigil of the Nativity of Saint John the Baptist The Vigil Mass of the Nativity of Saint John the Baptist may be celebrated either before or after Evening Prayer on this day.
June 28: Thirteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time The prayers and readings for this Sunday should be used at regularly scheduled parish Masses. In the evening, the Vigil Mass for Saints Peter and Paul may be celebrated at Masses other than the usual Sunday evening Mass.
July 4: Independence Day When the Mass for Independence Day is used on this day, the Gloria should be either said or sung.
August 15: Solemnity of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary Because this feast falls on a Saturday this year, it is not a Holy Day of Obligation.
who wish to celebrate the Sacrament of Penance have an opportunity to do so before celebrating the Anointing of the Sick within Mass. Anointing of the Sick may take place within the context of any Mass, but it is not permitted to use the ritual Mass during the Easter Triduum, the weekdays of Holy Week, on Sundays and solemnities, and on Ash Wednesday.
Using the ritual Mass associated with the celebration of the sacrament of the Anointing of the Sick merits special consideration. Two Masses may be used for this purpose: the Mass “For the Sick" from Masses for Various Needs and Occasions in the Roman Missal, or the Ritual Mass formulary found in the PCS. It should be noted that this latter formulary was not included in the third typical edition of the Roman Missal, inasmuch as it was approved for use only within the United States. This formulary includes special inserts for the Eucharistic Prayers, but these texts were originally designed for use with the previous translation of the Roman Missal. With this in mind, the USCCB’s Secretariat for Divine Worship updated these inserts in 2013, so that they might be used with the current translation of the Eucharistic Prayers in the following adapted forms:
Eucharistic Prayer I
Therefore, Lord, we pray:graciously accept this oblation of our service, that of your whole family, and especially of those who ask for healing of body, mind
and spirit; order our days in your peace...
Eucharistic Prayer II
...together with N. our Pope and N. our Bishop and all the clergy. Remember also those who ask for healing
in the name of your Son,that they may never cease to praise you for the wonders of your power. Remember also our brothers and sisters who have fallen
asleep in the hope of the resurrection...
Eucharistic Prayer III
Listen graciously to the prayers of this family, whom you have summoned before you: hear especially the prayers of those who
ask for healing in the name of your Son, that they may never cease to praise you for the wonders of your power. In your
compassion, O merciful Father…

Corpus Christi Processions
The Roman Missal states that it is “desirable” that a procession with the Blessed Sacrament takes place after Mass on the Solemnity of Corpus Christi (Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ). For the procession:
-the host that is carried in the monstrance should be consecrated at the Mass which precedes the procession;
-the Prayer after Communion is recited, but the concluding rites of Mass are omitted;
-the priest who carries the Blessed Sacrament wears either a chasuble or white cope;
-candles, incense, and a canopy over the priest may be used;
-stations may be set up where a eucharistic blessing can be imparted;
-song texts should refer to Christ and His Real Presence in the Blessed Sacrament; and
-at the conclusion of the procession, benediction is given before the Blessed Sacrament is reposed.
“Being a Church Musician in the Modern World” Workshop - June 8Church musicians are invited to a workshop at St. Catherine of Siena Church in Manhattan, to be held on June 8, from 6:00-9:00pm. This workshop will focus on the practicalities and challenges of serving as a church musician in the modern world. The workshop will be led by Astrid Baumgardner, director of Career Services for the Yale School of Music. The cost of the workshop is $10 for pre-registrants and $15 at the door. For more information, go to: nyliturgy.org/workshops.

Paul Turner. More information may be found at: nyliturgy.org/workshops
St. Cecilia Academy Summer Chant Course at St. Joseph’s Seminary - July 13-18Parish musicians are invited to attend this one-week, introductory course on the subject of chant taught by Dr. Jennifer Donelson, DMA. Opportunities for study and music-making will take place throughout the week. Tuition is $700 for 3 credits and $400 for those who wish to audit the class. Those traveling to New York from out of town may take advantage of a special conference rate at the nearby Hyatt Place at the Cross County Center (code: G-GCCJ).
This course is being offered as part of the St. Cecilia Academy for Pastoral Musicians, a four-course, fully accredited program offered through St. Joseph’s Seminary in the field of liturgical music for the purpose of introducing musicians to the history, theology, and pastoral principles of liturgy and sacred music. For more information about the summer chant course and the St. Cecilia Academy, visit: nyliturgy.org.
Update on the Liturgy of the Hours The USCCB’s Committee on Divine Worship recently provided an update regarding the revised translation of the Liturgy of the Hours. The Committee indicated that this work is being undertaken primarily in response to the promulgation of the Liturgia Horarum, editio typica altera in 1985, which has not yet been translated into English. This updated edition of the Divine Office includes a new feature in its presentation of the antiphons for the Gospel canticles for Morning and Evening Prayer: namely, three antiphons are provided
for these canticles, each of which corresponds to the different gospel readings in the three-year lectionary cycle (A, B, C). These antiphons will be translated and appear in the new English translation of the Liturgy of the Hours.
The Committee indicated that the translation of the Liturgy of the Hours is also being revised in light of the publication of the Roman Missal, Third Typical Edition (2011). This book included new translations of many collects that appear both in the Missale Romanum and the Liturgia Horarum. These newly-translated collects will be included in the revised translation of the Liturgy of the Hours so that both books will utilize the same wording for these prayers.
In the process of translating the second edition of the Liturgy of the Hours, it is anticipated that this book will include several additional new features, including:
- the use of the Revised Grail Psalter, which offers a more consistent metrical translation of the psalter for both singing and recitation;
- a new translation of the Gospel and New Testament canticles in accordance with the style of the Revised Grail Psalms;
- a translation of the brief Scriptural passages taken from the New American Bible, Revised Edition;
- a complete English translation of the proper Latin hymns of the Liturgy of the Hours (while still allowing for the use of other, suitable hymns);
- a new translation of the intercessions, as well as the concluding prayers that are not contained in the Roman Missal; and
- an updated Proper of Saints.
Because of the large scope of this work, it is expected that an English translation of the Liturgy of the Hours, Second Edition will be implemented by 2020, at the earliest. Once approved, it is hoped that this revised and newly-translated work will offer a richer set of resources for the celebration of the hours by clergy and faithful alike.
“Singing the Mass” Seminar for Priests - October 10On Saturday, October 10, from 9:00am-2:00pm, St. Joseph’s Seminary will host a seminar for priests on singing the Mass. The day will be led by Dr. Jennifer Donelson, DMA, associate professor and director of music at St. Joseph’s Seminary. The presentation will focus on singing the presidential prayers, prefaces, Eucharistic Prayers, and Mass dialogues. Registration for this seminar may be found at: nyliturgy.org/workshops. This workshop is co-sponsored by the Office of Liturgy and the Sacred Heart Institute for the Ongoing Formation of Clergy.
Archdiocesan ChasublesIn anticipation of the visit of Pope Francis to the New York area, priests of the Archdiocese are encouraged to purchase an archdiocesan chasuble for use at Mass with the Holy Father and for other archdiocesan events. The price of these chasubles is $185, and they may be ordered from ICS by contacting Deacon Peter Stamm at 212-838-7311 or [email protected].
