I heard while watching the Easter Vigil from Rome on EWTN that the Salve Regina should be prayed by the congregation at the end of every mass from Easter to Ash Wednesday.

First did I hear this wrong? Second If it is true and there not praying it after mass at ones parish, what should we do?

Thanks.
 
The Salve Regina is not part of the Roman Missal. Anything done after the Mass is a private devotion, and cannot be forced upon the laity.
 
did not see this or at least did not notice it on that broadcast, but maybe they referred to the Regina Coeli, which is the prayer that replaces the Angelus during the Easter Season? Queen of heaven rejoice alleluia, etc. if the end of Mass coincides with the usual times for this prayer, 6 am, noon and 6 pm, that would be appropriate

Yes, it is the Regina Caeli, although, it was sung at the end of the Papal Mass (Easter Vigil). We recite the Regina Caeli from Easter Sunday through Pentecost. After that, we go back to the Angelus. The times that puzzleannie indicated are correct.

There are 4 Marian Antiphons to cover the year:

Regina Caeli (Paschaltide)
Alma Redemptoris Mater (Advent)
Ave Regina Caelorum (Candlemas through Lent)
Salve Regina (the rest of the year)

In some places, at the end of the EF the seasonal Marian Antiphon is sung, (irrespective of the “Leonine Prayers”), just prior to the recessional, so I suppose it’s possible that’s what occurred here.

The Regina Caeli was sung just prior to the recessional during the Papal Easter Vigil Mass. I believe that it was also sung in the same manner for the Papal Easter Sunday Mass as well.

Our EF Mass is usually a sung Mass (missa cantata). At the end, the choir will sing the appropriate Marian Antiphon during the recessional. If it is a low Mass, someone will lead the congregation in Holy God We Praise Thy Name.
 
I was dreading going to Mass at the Cathedral with my father because the music has been sub par. However, we had a Quince Anos celebration imbedded within the Mass and the alumni from the local Catholic high school were celebrating their 50th reunion.

I was pleasantly surprised that the organist took my advice and used Proulx Gloria from A Community Mass. Even more of a shock was that the Regina Caeli was used as the offertory. Boy, did I belt this one out loudly and proudly. We sang it in English, first and then the cantor/organist and I were the only ones belting it out in Latin. Then, while the young lady was placing flowers at the feet of the statue of the Blessed Mother, the organist/cantor played the Salve Regina.

The only bummer was that the cantor/organist played Jesus Christ is Risen Today to the tune of Michael Rowed His Boat Ashore. :eek: Then, I realized that we were tanking quicker than the country’s 401K plans. But, at least it was at the end of Mass.🤷

At least he did not sing the Amen from the film “Lilies of the Field”. :eek:

You need to ask your priest. My parish does not do this either. But those prayers are not required to be done. They are not part of the Liturgy.

These antiphons are a part of the Liturgy of the Hours, notmthe Mass Liturgy.

When I was in religious life, we always sang one at the the end of Night Prayer.

Yes. If you listen to the night prayer broadcast on Vatican Radio (I listen to it online at about 4PM Texas time), you will hear the Regina Caeli or the Salve Regina chanted at the end.
