I have to work on Sunday so I headed out to Mass tonight. I headed out to Our Lady of Victory in Sereno for their 4 pm Vigil Mass.
Our Lady of Victory is at least 100 years old. Their new Church was built in 1997. It's a tasteful modern church. They have a choir loft, which is amazing because those seem to have all but disappeared in churches built after 1960.
Father was really nice and chatty, greeting all of his parishoners before Mass. As usual, I upset some elderly lady by daring to sit in her spot.
The music was accompanied by a piano/electric organ in the choir loft.
Music:
Opening: Alleluia, Alleluia! Let the Holy Anthem Rise.
Offertory: Jesus Christ is Risen Today
Mass Setting: Mass of Creation (Gloria was spoken though)
Communion: Gift of Finest Wheat; Amazing Grace
Closing: They'll Know We Are Christians By Our Love
The mini-homily was about how it was Good Shepherd Sunday. Father used Penitential Rite A.
Homily:
This week we celebrate the image of Jesus as the Good Shepherd. In John's Gospel there are 7 I AM statements.
I AM:
- Living Water
- Bread of Life
- Resurrection and the Life
- the Vine
- Light of the World
- Good Shepherd.
Father used Eucharistic Prayer II and there were no bells. There was hand-holding at the Our Father.
