MUSIC FOR HOLY MASS

Covering the next four weekends at three churches...

UPDATED ON 2/8/10

On the next three Saturdays, I'll be playing the 5:30 and 7:00 PM Masses at the Chapel of Our Savior in Brockton, MA. In addition, I'll be playing the 9:30 AM Mass at St. Anthony's Church in Providence, RI on Sunday, February 7, and the 8:00 and 10:00 AM Masses at St. Kevin's Church in Warwick, RI on Sundays February 14 and 21. Since I get to pick the hymns at all of these Masses, and the books are pretty much the same at all three churches (OCP), the hymn selections will stay the same at both churches.

Music for the Mass itself was selected by the powers that be at the Brockton chapel and at Warwick, while I got to pick the hymns (at Warwick, the choices were St. Louis Jesuits Mass and Massive Cremation - I picked the somewhat-but-not-by-much lesser of the two evils). At Providence, I got to pick it all, but I got an idea of what they know there, so I'm basing it accordingly.

I've filled in at the Brockton and Providence churches before and enjoyed both venues. Fr. Dan Sweet at St. Anthony's is excellent, as are the Franciscan Friars of the Atonement who staff Our Savior. I'm looking forward to going back there, albeit for the limited time.
