Oops. That should have been a capital 'L' in Laetare!

You're welcome, of course, but this thread won't go far as long as it's only you and me. :)

I'm in Ireland. And I'm Catholic.

But I never heard of Laetare Sunday.

This Sunday is Mothering Sunday in Ireland...and our clergy tend to use the day to venerate Our Lady.

Yes, it is traditional. We are bringing in rose colored roses tomorrow. (that sounds a bit odd, doesn't it.) It is a little break in the Lenten season.

Likewise, there is one Gaudete Sunday in the middle of Advent,

Gaudete Sunday
The third Sunday of Advent, so called from the first word of the Introit at Mass (Gaudete, i.e. Rejoice). [...]

Only two days when the rose colored vestments are worn.

Not a bad Catholic....

The word "Laetare" is Latin -- no wonder many of us have not heard it. Listen to the opening prayer for the words -- "Rejoice, Jerusalem."

**from the first words of the Introit at Mass, "Laetare Jerusalem" -- "Rejoice, O Jerusalem".**

Of course, that's all old church gobbledy-gook. In the new AmChurch, the only differences are that the folk band is permitted to use GMaj chords (for happier songs), and the liturgical dancers wear top hats and tap shoes.

The rose color has long tradition but it is optional now. I see priests using the usual Lenten (and Advent) violet instead.

Hahaha...I want to be part of the AmChurch.

Only problem is..if I wear a top hat and taps, I tend to go into 'Chicago' mode.

I might just want to straddle the ambo and sing 'All that Jazz'.

You might have a place in the Roman Catholic Diocese (so-called) of Erie, PA.



I have to laugh about this. It's either that or cry.
