Is the Our Father ever sung at your Parish? If so, is it in English, Latin, or some other language? If so, which language?

It’s always sung, and always english, except, perhaps, for the Latin Mass.
 
In my Melkite parish it’s always chanted in English and in Arabic…

on Sunday it is chanted in that awkward English translation which never seems to work quite right for chant.
 
We sing it about half of the time (in English). During Lent, we chant it (still in English). Except for the noon Mass where it is always in Spanish. 😃
 
Always I am eager to see how Deacon Father Ed is doing at his Melkite Church. My church sings Our Father in Slavonic. For those who have not heard such singing, I have a site of a choir singing Otche Nash (Lordes Prayer) like in Liturgy

We sing a lot in our parish, but our priest has never allowed the Our Father to be sung because he doesn’t want the people or kids who do not like to sing to exclude themselves from praying it. But, I know he has been getting a lot of pressure from our musical director to sing it so I have a feeling we will be singing it in the near future. I actually prefer to recite it - and I love singing.
 
Our choir use to lead the singing of it at one Mass in English, but now it is not sung at any of our Masses.Deacon Tony
 
At my TLM Mass where I serve the altar obviosuly the Pater Noster is always done in a chant or sung. But in my parish the Mass of the new rite has never sung the Pater Noster.
 
We sing it at only one of the English Masses and we sing it in English.
 
Lately, we’ve been either singing or saying it in English. During the school year, it sung in English or Latin at our Friday Mass (the school kids come on Fri) and we used to alternate English and Latin on Sundays, but not any longer.
