We usually chant it on special feasts/solemnities. I love chanting it.

Have been to plenty where it was sung.
We don’t ever sing it at my parish because we get a lot of non-Catholics visiting, and it’s the practically the only thing they can pray along with us without being a well-versed Catholic as it were.

I really get tired of the chant, and the Mass setting which have the Our Father in them, tend to mess with the words, and not have it sung-though, and the pastor really doesn’t like that.

This is interesting. Don’t some non-Catholics have a slightly different version of the Lord’s Prayer? There are those who use debts instead of trespasses, for example.
 
Some do. I know Anglicans tend to use the same version aside from the Doxology (Anglicans would usually say “for thine is the kingdom…”) and without the intervening “Deliver us Lord from every evil”.

Yup. But for the most part, this is a part where they feel comfortable and welcome.
So many believe that we are an odd bunch. 😃
 
We sing it at every Sunday Mass (youth mass) but it is recited at the Saturday evening mass.
 
When I first became Catholic the Our Father was always sung at the main Mass. The tune we sang was written by our organist who also wrote the tune for the Gloria during Mass. I am still able to sing it 30 years later as it was weekly.

Are you thinking Charlotte Church’s version. youtube.com/watch?v=3C6UO2v426c
(that is a good album all around).

I have sung, both the latin and english plain chant versions, and a more contemporary version in Mass.

“The Lord’s Prayer,” by Sister Janet Mead, from 1973.

In this case, the song I was thinking of was thanks to the poster, Signit who mentioned it above, by Sister Janet Meade and from Australia.

The English masses I have been to use this tune, which is a simplified tune of the Latin version (ignoring the harmony in the video).

Which Latin version? Are you suggesting the Robert Snow version was originally in Latin? Or are you suggesting that this tune is the same as that in the Latin posted above by Aran Houlihan (which does not look the same to me)?
 
Quite a number of churches in Australia sing the Our Father.

When I was in Italy I noticed it was common to sing the Our Father.

At St Peter’s at the Vatican they mostly sing the Our Father rather than recite it. Sometimes in Italian and sometimes in Latin.

The Robert Snow version is based on the Latin version. If you filled in a few notes here and there you would end up with the same tune as what Aran posted.
