Music for Mass: Listen at home
Our Parish has used the same music for Mass, known as the Mass of St. Francis Cabrini, for many years, and it is the music used in our diocese as well. It is important, though, that we do not become too tired of it so we can use it for many years. It is also important to get a fresh perspective on Holy Mass by using new (or new to us!) music every now and then. This fall we are learning a setting known as "Mass of the Angels" or "Missa de Angelis." This music is beautiful, but you might need a little extra help getting familiar with it so you can sing with confidence. Use this video below to help!
