For example: rehearsal notes for your choir, announcements for the congregation, or general intercessions.
Prayers
Use a Prayer section to add content for devotional moments before, during, or after Mass.
For example: Prayers before Mass, Prayers after Communion, or the Prayer to St. Michael the Archangel after Mass.
