Propers for the Octave?
The other odd thing about his feast is that he's one of the few saints whose feast is a Double, but has proper Antiphons and Psalms at Vespers, Matins, and Lauds, and the Scripture Lessons in the I Nocturn are in the Common. I was hoping there'd be some rubric on what to do on the Octave day - normally, everything's ferial, but since his feast is normally proper and normally a Double, I've said it as on the feast. And then there was a couple years ago when his Octave day fell on Sunday - the Sunday has precedence over the Octave day, the Octave day has precedence over the Dedication of the Basilicas of Ss. Peter and Paul (Nov. 18, a Greater Double), but the Dedication, as a Feast of the Lord, has precedence over the Sunday. I ended up saying the Office of the Dedication with a Commemoration and Lesson ix of the Sunday, and Commemoration of the Octave day at both Vespers and Lauds.
For the Octave Day. Apparently given the number of intervening saints days, Propers for the Octave were considered unnecessary.
You did it correctly. According to a decree of the Congregation of Rites, in such a situation, the Dedication is observed and the Sunday and Octave Day commemorated.
