Two masses are regularly celebrated on Sundays. At 8:00 am in the Lady Chapel, a Low Mass is celebrated. The form of this mass is the same as the 10:00 am Solemn Mass, but music is not used—there is no choir and no hymns.
The 10:00 am Solemn Mass at the High Altar is the central spiritual focus of parish life. This mass is celebrated with three sacred ministers, acolytes, the All Saints' Choir, and incense. Most of this mass is sung: by the priest with the people responding in kind; by the choir singing the ordinary of the mass, the minor propers of the day, and an anthem or motet during communion; and by the people and choir singing hymns at the entrance, gospel, offertory, and conclusion of the mass. Voluntaries before and after the mass provide ample time for prayer and reflection, and make good use of the parish's two beautiful pipe organs.
The Angelus is recited before the 8 o'clock Low Mass and at the conclusion of the 10 o'clock Solemn Mass.
