Moving the Choir from the Loft - Part 2

(This is the continuation from Part 1)

So I looked around and examined the surroundings for what could be the reason why the acoustics inside the church has changed. The only obvious change was the transfer of the church choir and their instruments.

Another change, not visible to many, are the wires and cables running on the floor of the sanctuary. The choir's microphones and instruments certainly had audio cables. Because of their transfer, these instruments needed new audio ports and sockets.

Moving the Choir from the Loft

This Sunday's mass was a bit out of the ordinary. I thought all along it would be the usual commentator role I will be taking.

The only difference I saw when I came in was that the choir including their electronic devices (microphones, keyboard) were relocated. From the usual choir loft, they are now located in front, near the corner where the commentator's lectern is positioned.

Attention to Sequence in Wedding Program

I suppose I was a bit lucky in today's wedding because the wedding coordinator was very cordial and called the two mass readers to immediately see me. Since the mass readers were on time, i.e., earlier than the rest of the entourage, the orientation for them was quick and easy.

I didn't realize though that there was a third reader who just popped up at the Liturgy of the Word itself. He took upon himself the Responsorial Psalm. Since he wasn't at the orientation, I had to constantly cut him off after the Verses because he wasn't supposed to say "Response".

Interfaith Mixed Marriage Wedding Muslim-Catholic

Today's wedding is one of those unscheduled "just came up" kind of a wedding. It was late when I was called to be wedding mass commentator. I was actually wondering why or how the parish accepts these late insertions in its wedding schedule.
