The Solemnity of All Saints

Introit: The Litany of Saints (chanted in English to the traditional tone)
Psalm 24, Guimont Psalter
Offertory: Jerusalem, My Happy Home, LAND OF REST
Communion: You Satisfy the Hungry Heart, BICENTENNIAL
Hymn of Thanksgiving: For All the Saints, SINE NOMINE

The Litany used on All Saints is similar to that used for the Easter Vigil, invoking Mary, the Mother of God, the apostles and martyrs, and finally our own patron saint, Vincent de Paul. Originally used as music for processions, the Litany of Saints is the perfect way to begin our observance of All Saints Day!
