Bishop Quinn has approved the early introduction of the newly translated Gloria, Holy and Memorial Acclamations when they are sung. If these texts are not sung the present translation is to be used. And of course, since the Gospel Acclamation and Great Amen have not changed new settings of those may be introduced as well.
This early introduction was proposed by the Bishops' Commitee on Divine Worship and approved by Archbishop Timothy Dolan, president of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops. The priests of the Diocese will get a copy of the letter from Archbishop Aymond containing the permission in the coming weeks.
One of the intents is to allow communities to gradually introduce and learn the new translation. This will be especially useful with the Gloria which otherwise would be practiced and then not used until Immaculate Conception and Christmas. With this earlier introduction we will be able to sing with joy and confidence when the Gloria arrives at Christmas.
Next Saturday is our second music reading session. Join us at St. Mary's in Worthington. Pre-registration helps us prepare materials but if your plans change and you can come at the last minute don't hesitate to do so.
