I went to a Holy Hour a few weeks back for Confession, as it’s offered at the same time. So, when I was there, Father led the small group of people there in a Latin hymn. Any idea what this might be, and if there are any printable side by side translations for next time I go, whenever that may be?
 
It was likely “O Salutaris” or “Tantum Ergo.” Check your missalette. They are usually there with the English translation.

No-oooo. A missalette is a seasonal publication that Catholic Churches in the U.S. provides for the parishoners so they can follow along during the Mass. It is printed quarterly and follows the same seasonal format of the Liturgy of the Hours; Advent, Lent, and Ordinary Time divided in two.

I take it you live across the pond.

Nah. I’m American. My Catchecisis in Catholicism has gaps, I stopped the Parish School of Religion in 6th grade and picked my Catchecisis back up on the web, where I found CAF.
 
If your Church uses the hardcover daily missal, no doubt you would find these songs there.
 
OK.

If your Church uses the PAPERBACK daily missal, no doubt you would find these songs there.

Btw, a paperback daily missal is called (drumroll)

A MISSALETTE!

I used to participate on a British Catholic forum years back, and they too had no idea what a missalette was. That’s why I assumed you were British.
 
Missalette is actually a trademarked brand name. Obviously a lot of us US Catholics went to parishes that used that brand… 🙂 They have monthly and “seasonal” ones that parishes can subscribe and get, just like a magazine. Most parishes probably used to get the monthly ones, but now there’s no telling.

(Obviously it’s cheaper in the long run to buy missal books and hymn books, but not all parishes have money enough to deal with the long term. Also, every time that Mass language is changed, Missalettes make a comeback until the new books come out.)

Every company is on the Internet, so here’s a link.

Breaking Bread?

There are different publications we refer to as “missalettes”.***

Breaking Bread*** is a novel-sized paperback book with with all the Propers (Opening Antiphon, Opening Prayer, Offertory Prayer, Communion Antiphon, Prayer after Communion, etc.) of the Mass for an entire year of Sundays and a lot of hymns. It’s available with or without Sunday readings, and there’s an option for one with daily Mass Propers.

In Canada, the go-to publication is Living with Christ. A variation of this one is also available in the US. Novalis publishes a weekly edition which you’ll find in many parishes, a monthly edition which is popular with individuals as it contains the daily Mass Propers and readings and they can get a subscription, and an annual Sunday Missal, a pocketbook-sized paperback volume which our parish gets and sells to the flock. The Missal is popular because it’s the cheapest option ($7 for the year).
