Introit • Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity • Free Download

Richard J. Clark · June 8, 2017

AST YEAR, I was honored to have been commissioned a new setting of the Introit for the first Mass of Fr. Patrick Fiorillo. This took place on the Solemnity of the Holy Trinity. The setting is in English and composed for SATB, organ, schola/cantor, and congregation.

You may read about his first Mass here—a true model of singing the Mass in the Novus Ordo. You may download the score and listen to a live recording of the Introit from Rev. Fiorillo’s first Mass:

Bridgette Wargovich directed the extraordinary choir. Fr. Michael Ruminski from the Diocese of Hartford served as organist. Corey Bassett-Tirrell, a seminarian at Pope Saint John XXXIII Seminary was the cantor.

This incredible website gives each bishop’s response to the recent MOTU PROPRIO Traditionis Custodes, a decree by Pope Francis which seeks to reduce the number of celebrations of the “Extraordinary Form” (Traditional Latin Mass): traditioniscustodes.info

Tomorrow is Sunday…

When you were in school, you would have gotten in trouble if you wrote the Roman Numeral “9” as viiii. You were supposed to write: IX. But look how an ancient manuscript writes “9” as a Roman Numeral. That’s the Introit Ecce Deus for tomorrow’s feast in the Extraordinary Form: The 9th Sunday after Pentecost.

24 July 2021 • “Two Teams”

Anyone familiar with the so-called “Traditionalist Catholic” movement knows that (like every other group) it contains some bad apples. Anyone can self-identify as a “Traditionalist Catholic”—even those who are mentally ill, those who beat their wives, and even folks who are emotionally disturbed. All of us know TLM Catholics who are so arrogant they make Narcissus look like the most humble guy who ever lived. However, I believe Traditionis Custodes will exacerbate the situation. Under B16, we were “all on the same team.” But this new decree by Pope Francis makes it seem like there are two opposing “teams” in the Church.
