 Over the past two weeks, we’ve introduced our parish’s upcoming shift from the Breaking Bread missal to a custom-designed weekly worship aid—created right here in our own parish. We’ve shared how this new approach will allow us to choose music that better reflects the voice and spirit of our community, while keeping most of what you need for Mass in one easy-to-follow place.
This worship aid isn’t just a new way of presenting the music—it’s a practical and meaningful tool designed to support fuller, more active participation in the liturgy. By bringing everything together in one place and selecting music that speaks to who we are as a parish, it encourages us to sing with confidence, pray with intention, and worship in greater unity. Whether it’s a well-known favorite or a new text set to a familiar tune, our goal is to help every member of our community lift their hearts and voices in prayer. |
