Almost a couple of years ago, we "whitelisted" the good music of OCP's 2006 Breaking Bread hymnal. Today we embark on a brand-spankin'-new "white list" - GIA's newest hymnal, the maroon-cover Gather Comprehensive, Second Edition.
Also, you'll love our new detergent in our intro, and we also offer a congratulatory "shout out" to the most recent additions to the SQPN network:  Catholic Underground, Catholic Moments, Catholic Hack, On the U, iPadre

Feasts for the Week:  December 31-January 6.  For more information: New Advent Website.
Suggestion Box: Mary, Mother of God and Epiphany.  For more info: CanticaNOVA Planning Pages - Mary, Mother of God, Epiphany
