Dominican Rite

Picture
The Dominican Rite is the liturgy of the Order of Friars Preachers, as it was in force from the thirteenth century until the late 1960s. The Dominican Order had its own proper Missal and Breviary, along with several other liturgical books, that were part and parcel of its conventual life and preaching mission. The Dominican Rite Mass was the form used by countless friars over the centuries, including most of the familiar Dominican saints. Its ethos and prayers are an invaluable part of the Dominican spiritual patrimony.

Extraordinary Form of the Mass in the Dominican Rite
​
Sung and Solemn Masses for 2020-2021

The friars at St. Gertrude will celebrate a Missa Cantata in the Dominican Rite once per month. A Missa Cantata, literally sung Mass, is one three ways of celebrating a Mass in the older form. It is celebrated with multiple servers and a choir and shows the beauty of the rite. The Missa Cantata falls between a low Mass, which has only one server, no singing, and is notably quiet, and the Solemn High Mass, where a priest, a deacon, and a sub deacon all have parts.
September 14 (Monday):
​Exaltation of the Holy Cross (class II feast)
October 7 (Wednesday):
​Our Lady of the Rosary (class I feast)
November 2 (Monday): ​
All Souls Day (class II feast)
November 30 (Monday): 
St. Andrew (class II feast)
January 25 (Monday):
Conversion of St. Paul (class III feast)
February 18 (Thursday): ​
Bl. John of Fiesole (“Fra Angelico”) (memoria)
Mar. 19 (Friday):
St. Joseph (class I feast)
​April 16 (Friday):
​Dedication of St. Gertrude’s Church (class I feast)
​June 29 (Tuesday):

This schedule highlights significant feast days that fall Monday-Friday throughout the upcoming year. As a norm, these Masses will be evening Missae Cantatae (7:30 pm), performed with a priest celebrant, 3-5 servers, and a choir. Solemn High Masses remain a future possibility, once there is time for the ministers and servers to train, perhaps with the involvement of the novitiate during the Spring. At least one rehearsal may be scheduled for each Mass, during the 6:30-7:30 hour.
