The resource page entitled "For The Faithful: Propers & Hymns for Scheduled Services at our Parish" is intended to be a repository for materials designed to assist the faithful in participating fully in each of the services scheduled at our parish.
Previously prepared for the chant group and choir only, we've been encouraged to share these materials with the faithful of the parish.
For every Sunday, festal Holy Day or weekday when the Divine Liturgy is scheduled to be celebrated, a link to a one page outline will be published on this resource page in advance, listing (with page number references in the People's Book) the propers for that Sunday or feast day. In addition, it will also list (by letter reference and page number) the hymn variants from the People's Book chosen for that particular Divine Liturgy (e.g. the Trisagion, or Thrice-Holy Hymn; the Cherubikon, or Cherubic Hymn; etc.).
The outlines posted here on this resource page will thus provide additional details that cannot be practically posted on the hymnal boards in the nave of our church, or economically reproduced and distributed on a weekly basis; namely, the variable hymn selections when more than one option exists in the People's Book. The outlines will also be accompanied by copies of any other supplemental materials to be used in the course of celebrating the Divine Liturgy (e.g. supplemental hymns not available in either the People's Book or in the Byzantine Catholic Hymnal).
Further, we may also from time to time supplementally include material distributed by our Archeparchy's Metropolitan Cantor Institute ("MCI"). The MCI's service booklets typically reprint the propers (with music) in a concise format, providing what is otherwise found in the People's Book, at times in multiple sections (necessitating sometimes frustrating "page flipping" in these instances).
The links will be to files posted on an internet-accessible "virtual shared drive" (Google Docs), in Adobe *.pdf format. Please download Adobe Reader if needed, which is freely available from the software publisher.
NOTE: This Resource Page can also be accessed using this dedicated link: http://bit.ly/ResurrectionBCC_PropersHymns (new, revised link!), offered as an option for the faithful who wish to be pointed directly to our weekly and periodic postings. We recommend it be saved as a "Favorite" in your web browser.
