We have started to hold a Liturgy in our town-basically because of our Priest serves the Liturgy every Sunday in Nottingham. Can anyone point me in the direction of the correct antiphons for a Saturday Liturgy?

It just depends on the rank of the feast. If there are Beatitude verses assigned, then you would do the Typical Antiphons. If it is a simple feast, then you can do the Daily Antiphons, but it is still more common, at least in the US, to do the Typical Antiphons then.

The only main difference between a Saturday Liturgy and any other Weekday Liturgy is the Litany for the Departed.

Sorry to be a liturgical nag: but on Saturdays, even when they are 'normal', (ie saint(s) with only 3 stichiri in the menaion; not a feast, forefeast or post feast) only the Typical antiphons would be done.

Daily antiphons are kept for the 5 weekdays only.

Fr. Raphael,
thank you for the correction. Using the Daily Antiphons is still new to me, and usually when I have done Saturday Liturgies, they are for a special occasion. It makes sense that the Typical Antiphons would be done on Saturdays due to the nature of the commemorations.
