Liturgical Hints & Ideas

Lent is a great time for reading and study. Why not explore the structure and rubrics of the Extraordinary Form of the Mass, which Pope Benedict brought into prominence with his Motu proprio Summorum pontificum. Resource links are also available. Also see Ceremonial for Sacred Music: A Complete Guide to Understanding the Sacred Music of the Extraordinary Form, by Rev. Scott Haynes, SJC
