Mass Notes
Special activities in the regular weekend schedule include:
- Signing for the deaf
- Children's liturgy
- Music
- Coffee hour
- the extension of Christ's love through other various ministries
Signing:
On the second Sunday of each month the 10:30 AM Mass is signed for the deaf and
hearing impaired. The first row on the right [lectern] side of the church is reserved
for those who would find this added ministry helpful.
Children's Liturgy of the Word:
Most Sundays of the year at the 10:30 AM Mass there is a separate Liturgy of the
Word for children. After the opening prayer those children who would like to participate
are blessed and process into the chapel area where the readings are drawn from the
Children's Lectionary. Music, prayers and a brief homily geared for children are
also part of this special and popular experience. The children rejoin the main body
of parishioners during the Presentation of the Gifts.
Music:
All of the weekend liturgies at Saint Malachy have a complete musical
program including hymns, psalms and acclamations.
At the 4:00 PM [Saturday] and 8:00 AM [Sunday] Mass, the music is accompanied by
either piano or organ and a cantor.
The 10:30 AM Mass is accompanied by a thirty voice adult choir singing four part
arrangements.
The music incorporates the best of traditional and contemporary settings.
Coffee Hour:
The 10:30 AM Sunday Mass is followed each week by a coffee, juice and
donut reception in the parish hall below the main church.
When you visit us for Mass we hope you also will be able to join us for this time
of conversation and community camaraderie.
