There was Mass at St. Francis de Sales Oratory last night. It was very beautiful but probably the quickest Mass I’ve seen there (about an hour). It was a little more complicated because some of the kneeling/sitting was different. Also, we held candles during the Gospel and the Eucharistic Prayer. At the end, we held candles around a coffin as the priest blessed it.

For the Dies Irae, the choir sang the plainchant version which is my favorite.
