INFORMATION ON FUTURE MASS SCHEDULES
In our desire to adhere to liturgical norms and to preserve the liturgical traditions here at IHM, we will make consistent the languages used at daily Masses with how they are listed on our general calendar, to wit: all 7:00 AM Masses will be in English. The 8:30AM Mass on Tuesday and Thursday will be in Spanish, while the 8:30AM Mass on, Monday, Wednesday and Friday, including the 8:00am Mass on Saturday, will be Bilingual, with the 1st Reading and the Responsorial Psalm read in Spanish, and the Gospel in English. On days when we have two readings, the 1st Reading (and the Responsorial Psalm) will be in Spanish, and the 2nd
Reading will be in English.
These liturgical updates will take effect on July 2, 2018. Ultimately, it is our hope that as one IHM family, we grow together in our appreciation of the beauty of the liturgy, in consonance with the norms and traditions of the Holy Mother Church.

INFORMACION SOBRE HORARIOS DE MISAS
En nuestro deseo de adherirnos a las normas litúrgicas y preservar las tradiciones litúrgicas aquí en IHM, haremos que los idiomas utilizados en las Misas diarias sean consistentes con la forma en que se enumeran en nuestro calendario general, a saber: todas las Misas de las 7am serán en inglés. La Misa de las 8:30 a.m. los martes y jueves serán en Español, mientras que la Misa de las 8:30 a.m. los lunes, miércoles y viernes, incluyendo la Misa de las 8:00 am el sábado serán bilingües, con la Primera Lectura y el Salmo Responsorial leídos en Español, y el Evangelio en Inglés. En los días en que tenemos dos lecturas, la primera lectura (y el salmo responsorial) estarán en Español, y la segunda lectura será en Inglés.
Estas actualizaciones litúrgicas entrarán en vigencia el 2 de julio de 2018. Últimamente, esperamos que como familia de ICM, crezcamos juntos en nuestra apreciación de la belleza de la litúrgia, en consonancia con las normas y tradiciones de la Santa Madre Iglesia.
