Alleluia before and after Gospel

[Sarabande]

Our entire Diocese (Camden NJ) remains standing after the gospel until the Alleuia is sung. I just attended mass in the Phoenix Diocese today it was omitted as it has been on my previous visits.

I’ve attended a few masses down in the Camden diocese as well as cantored many weddings in that diocese (it’s not my diocese) and I think it depends on the parish. Not all of the parishes do the above for Sunday mass (although it probably is more common in the diocese if it is a set standard for the diocese), and it’s fairly obsolete when it comes to the nuptial masses, so they might do it differently for weddings.

In my parish (not in the Camden diocese), they only sing the Alleluia before and after the Gospel on special occasions and solemnities. During regular masses they only sing it prior to the Gospel.

It is defiitely a large percentage of the parishes that practice the two Alleluia or should be sice you are correct, that it is a set standard for the diocese, and it is expected to be part of the Liturgy. Some parishes in Camden diocese may not be doing it in protest however. Sad but likely true. What diocese is your home Sarabande ?

I just sent you a pm.

I know what you mean. It can be the same in my diocese in regards to other set standards - it’s especially true when it comes to nuptial masses. My parish tries to follow practically everything
to the book in regards to the liturgy, music, etc. But there are other parishes which will be a bit lax especially regarding sacred and liturgical music for mass. When I freelance out to these other parishes and in different dioceses, I try to follow the guidelines, but then you have the individual parishes allowing things that shouldn’t be done. I’ve experienced some pretty strange parishes in that regard up in north Jersey. But that’s all for another thread.

I think most of the parishes in my diocese don’t employ the Alleluia before and after the Gospel, having attended mass in a number of parishes. That’s not to say there isn’t one which does on a regular basis.
