During Lent, St. Alban’s will celebrate Holy Eucharist: Rite One on Sundays
and Wednesday Evenings. The Ash Wednesday liturgy is the last time Rite Two will be used
until Easter. In Lent, our liturgies will begin with the Penitential Order and
continue with the Kyrie. The service music (Gloria, Sanctus, and Agnus Dei)
will be omitted. At the fraction, the Agnus Dei will be said and the prayer of
humble access will be said prior to receiving communion. Silence will be
observed at appropriate times during the liturgy as well. All of this is in
keeping with the penitential nature of the season.
In Lent, in place of a seasonal blessing, a solemn Prayer over the
People will be used. The prayers come from The Book of Occasional Services.
If you have any questions about our worship, please ask Father Whit+.
