During Sunday mass, there is a song sung entirely in Latin and I was wondering anyone would know what it is. Its not the Gloria. Also theres a prayer said by everyone at the end before the dismissal. And Satan is mentioned in it. Most people know it but me! Thanks x

Hi mykids. I'm not Catholic, but the bits of the Mass that might be in Latin, apart from the Gloria, would be the Sanctus (Holy, Holy, Holy...), Benedictus (Blessed is he who comes...), or the Agnus Dei (Lamb of God...). Not sure if there's anything else. Possibly the Gospel acclamation (which would normally - but not in Lent - involve 'Alleluia's).

Can you talk to your priest? Or are there Catholic liturgical resources available online that you can look at?

At what point of the Mass is the Latin song?

The Satan one sounds like the prayer to St. Michael, which is optionally said after Mass. It would be after the dismissal but before a procession or recessional hymn. It goes like this:
Holy Michael the Archangel,
Defend us in this day of battle;
Be our safeguard against the wickedness and snares of the devil.
May God rebuke him, we humbly pray,
And do thou, O prince of the heavenly host,
By the power of God,
Thrust down into Hell, Satan and all the wicked spirits
Who wander through the world for the ruin of souls.
Amen.

The Latin bit could be the creed? Starts 'Credo...'.
