"through him with him in him...."

[Markh]

is this to be said by the congregation?

or just the priest, I go to 2 churches often (1 at school 1 parish) and it is different.

I think this is only the priest should say it. The only place I have seen otherwise is an elderly lady at the nursing home Mass who often says all the priests parts along with him. In the missal it isn't indicated as something the congregation should say.

 

[kimber1]

in mine, it's just the priest who says it too

 

[Polycarp1]

I cannot speak for Catholicism, but in all the liturgies I've seen, from Methodism to the Eucharistic Prayer of St. John Chrysostom, that passage is part of a concluding doxology of praise to God at the end of the "Canon of the Mass"/Prayer of Consecration. As such, it is duly said by the Priest, with the laity echoing their "Amen" that the Priest's prayer represents their prayer as well -- but is not something solely appertaining to the priestly function but rather an act of praise which, if there are not church-specific rules, the congregation may well join in praying with him, at least sotto voce. I know in the Episcopal Church, if there is a concelebrated Eucharist, the priests sharing in the Eucharistic Prayer will join together in praying aloud that concluding doxology.

In other words, follow the rules of the church -- but it's not theologically in error to join in it. I often do, subvocalizing the passage as the priest prays it aloud.

only the priest

 

[Credo]

Only the presiding priest and any priests that are con-celebrating may say "Through Him, with Him, in Him..."
