Please Contribute to the Carmelite Christmas Feast
The Truty family is coordinating Christmas meals for the Discalced Carmelite Nuns who so graciously gave a home to our Latin Mass Community for 18+ years prior to becoming our own parish. If you are able, please choose an item or items from the list or think of your own special addition to their meal , then bring the item to Church and place it on the Carmelite table located on the East side of the Parish Hall or place it in the refrigerator (labeled CARMELITES) in the kitchen.
A list of items for the feast, as well as the sign up list can be found at this link:

Items will be picked up the next two Sundays (December 13th & 20th) and drop them off with the Sisters. If you would like, you can personally deliver the items to the Sisters at 600 Flowers Ave, Dallas, Texas 75211. They would like to hear from you! There will be a list of items needed on the Carmelite table as well.
God bless you in advance for your generosity.

Mass Setting:
Missa O Magnum Mysterium (Victoria)
Motets:
– Sancta et Immaculata (Guerrero)
Translation: O holy and immaculate virginity,
I know not by what praises I may extol thee:
Responsum
for thou hast born in thy womb,
whom the heavens could not contain.
Versus
Blessed art thou among women,
and blessed is the fruit of thy womb.
– Ave Maria… Virgo Serena (Josquin)
Translation: Hail Mary, full of grace,
The Lord is with thee, serene Virgin.
Hail, thou whose Conception, Full of great joy,
Fills heaven and earth With new gladness.
Hail, thou whose Nativity Became our great celebration,
As the light-bearing Morning Star anticipates the true Sun.
Hail, faithful humility, Fruitful without man,
Whose Annunciation Was our salvation.
Hail, true virginity, Immaculate chastity,
Whose Purification Was our cleansing.
Hail, glorious one In all angelic virtues,
Whose Assumption Was our glorification.
O Mother of God, Remember me. Amen.
Pray for us, and may our music help uplift your prayer at mass.
