The morse on the cope is from an old cope in St. Michael’s collection. Because of the set’s silk construction, this cope and mitre are used on visits to Chicago. Ruth made Bishop Joseph another set that can easily be laundered for his use in Renk. Ruth has been a member of St. Michael’s, Barrington, since 1955. The Diocese of Renk, South Sudan, and the Diocese of Chicago have a Companion Diocese Relationship, begun in 2001. St. Michael, Barrington 16 LOSSARY Alb - is a white garment coming down to the ankles and is usually girdled with a cincture. It is meant to be worn over a cassock, but often is worn as a cassock-alb. Amice - The amice consists of a white cloth connected to two long ribbon-like attachments, by which it is fastened around the shoul- ders of the priest. While donning the amice, the priest first drapes the amice over his head (as with a hood), then lowers it to his neck, tying it around his torso. Biretta - is a square cap with three or four peaks, surmounted by a tuft. A priest wears an all-black cap with 3 peaks; the dean, canon and bishop wear a 4 peaked cap with red trim and tuft for the dean and purple for the canon and bishop. Cassock – The cassock is a single-breasted, ankle length black garment worn over street clothes by laity or over shirt and collar by clergy. Clergy have the option of wearing a sash when worn as outerwear (rather than under an alb). The buttons, piping and sash fringe can be colored according to office. Chasuble – is the outermost liturgical vestment worn by clergy for the celebration of the Eucharist. It is worn over the alb and usually over the stole. Cincture - a long, rope-like cord with tasseled or knotted ends, tied around the waist outside the alb. Cope - a long mantle or cloak, open in front and fastened at the breast with a band or clasp. It may be of any liturgical color. A cope may be worn by any rank of the clergy, and also by lay ministers in certain circumstances. If worn by a bishop, it is generally accompa- nied by a mitre. The clasp, which is often highly ornamented, is called a morse. 17 Dalmatic - is a knee length, wide-sleeved tunic, which is worn by a deacon. Like the chasuble, it is an outer vestment and is supposed to match the liturgical color of the day. It usually has bands across the body of the vestment, unlike the more plain tunicle. Humeral Veil - consists of a piece of cloth draped over the shoulders and down the front, normally of silk in the seasonal liturgical color or cloth of gold. At the ends there are sometimes pockets in the back for hands to go into so that the wearer can hold items without touching them with the hands. The humeral veil is used to cover the hands of the priests or deacons so they do not touch sacred vessels as a mark of respect. Maniple - is a liturgical vestment made of an embroidered band of silk or similar fabric that when worn hangs from the left arm. It often is the same construction as the stole and it is of the same liturgical color as the other vestments. Mitre - is the traditional, ceremonial head-dress of bishops. Stole - The stole is a band of colored cloth, usually silk, about three to four inches wide, whose ends may be straight or may broaden out. The center of the stole is worn around the back of the neck and the two ends hang down parallel to each other in front. The stole is often decorated in some way with a cross or some other significant religious design. It is often decorated with contrasting galloons (ornamental trim) and fringe is often applied to the ends of the stole. A deacon’s stole is longer and goes over the left shoulder across the chest to the right hip. It may fasten at the hip, or hang down the deacon’s left side, over the left shoulder, across the back loop- ing across the right hip , crossing the chest and finishing down the left back. Stoles generally follow the liturgical color of the day. Surplice - The surplice is in the form of a tunic of white linen or cotton fabric, reaching to the knees, with wide or moderately wide sleeves.

Eucharist comes from a Greek word that means “thanksgiving.” Each week, we offer our thanks to God for all the things we have in our life and all the ways God loves us. The Eucharist is not something that only a priest does; it is something that we do together. It takes all of us here to help make the Eucharist happen.

  • The Rites of Holy Week
    THE RITES OF HOLY WEEK • CEREMONIES • PREPARATIONS • MUSIC • COMMENTARY By FREDERICK R. McMANUS Priest of the Archdiocese of Boston 1956 SAINT ANTHONY GUILD PRESS PATERSON, NEW JERSEY Copyright, 1956, by Frederick R. McManus Nihil obstat ALFRED R. JULIEN, J.C. D. Censor Lib1·or111n Imprimatur t RICHARD J. CUSHING A1·chbishop of Boston Boston, February 16, 1956 PRINTED IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA INTRODUCTION ANCTITY is the purpose of the "new Holy Week." The news S accounts have been concerned with the radical changes, the upset of traditional practices, and the technical details of the re­ stored Holy Week services, but the real issue in the reform is the development of true holiness in the members of Christ's Church. This is the expectation of Pope Pius XII, as expressed personally by him. It is insisted upon repeatedly in the official language of the new laws - the goal is simple: that the faithful may take part in the most sacred week of the year "more easily, more devoutly, and more fruitfully." Certainly the changes now commanded ,by the Apostolic See are extraordinary, particularly since they come after nearly four centuries of little liturgical development. This is especially true of the different times set for the principal services. On Holy Thursday the solemn evening Mass now becomes a clearer and more evident memorial of the Last Supper of the Lord on the night before He suffered. On Good Friday, when Holy Mass is not offered, the liturgical service is placed at three o'clock in the afternoon, or later, since three o'clock is the "ninth hour" of the Gospel accounts of our Lord's Crucifixion.

We are committed: to our urban neighborhoods, to being the Cathedral of the Diocese, and to fellowship, formation, sacrament, and prayer. Dear Parishioners of the Cathedral Parish, A final merry Christmas to you! From the Desk Some of you have noted that from time of the Vice-Rector to time I wear a vestment that is called a Rev. Martin J. Smay maniple. The maniple is like a mini-stole which is worn on the left forearm near the This Week elbow and hangs down to the side. January 10 - 17, 2021 The description of the maniple as a mini-stole is somewhat prov- idential. The stole which priests and deacons wear was, in its nascent use, a very simple garment with little decoration.

Effective September 14, 2007, Pope Benedict XVI loosened the restrictions on the use of the 1962 Missal, such that the special permission of the bishop is no longer required. This action was taken because, as universal shepherd, His Holiness has a heart for the unity of the Church, and sees the option of allowing a more generous use of the Mass of 1962 as a way to foster that unity and heal any breaches that may have occurred after Vatican II.

  • The Holy Eucharist Rite One INTRODUCTION This Morning We Are Going to Depart from Our Usual Worship
    The Holy Eucharist Rite One INTRODUCTION This morning we are going to depart from our usual worship. As we celebrate the Holy Eucharist today, we are going to examine the different parts of the service and explain them as we go along. Our aim is to help us better understand the worship and help us to participate more fully in the Holy Eucharist. The Holy Eucharist is the principle act of Christian worship. As we proceed, we will pause for explanation of why we are doing what we are doing. There will be some historic and some theological explanations. This is a departure from our usual worship but hopefully it will help us all better appreciate and understand the richness of our liturgy. Vestments priest will vest as you talk The vestments the priest wears are derived from dress clothing of the late Roman Empire. The white outer garment is called an alb. It gets its name from the Latin word albus, which means white. It is derived from the commonest under garment in classical Italy, the tunic. It symbolizes purity, decency and propriety. It also represents being washed clean in the waters of baptism. The girdle or cincture is usually made of white linen or hemp. Functionally, it is for ease of movement when wearing the alb. Symbolically, it represents how we are all bound together in Christ. The stole was derived from a Roman ceremonial garland or scarf worn by Roman officials as an indication of his rank. Priests have worn the stole since at least the fourth century.

  • Vestments and Sacred Vessels Used at Mass
    Vestments and Sacred Vessels used at Mass Amice (optional) This is a rectangular piece of cloth with two long ribbons attached to the top corners. The priest puts it over his shoulders, tucking it in around the neck to hide his cassock and collar. It is worn whenever the alb does not completely cover the ordinary clothing at the neck (GI 297). It is then tied around the waist. It symbolises a helmet of salvation and a sign of resistance against temptation. 11 Alb This long, white, vestment reaching to the ankles and is worn when celebrating Mass. Its name comes from the Latin ‘albus’ meaning ‘white.’ This garment symbolises purity of heart. Worn by priest, deacon and in many places by the altar servers. Cincture (optional) This is a long cord used for fastening some albs at the waist. It is worn over the alb by those who wear an alb. It is a symbol of chastity. It is usually white in colour. Stole A stole is a long cloth, often ornately decorated, of the same colour and style as the chasuble. A stole traditionally stands for the power of the priesthood and symbolises obedience. The priest wears it around the neck, letting it hang down the front. A deacon wears it over his right shoulder and fastened at his left side like a sash. Chasuble The chasuble is the sleeveless outer vestment, slipped over the head, hanging down from the shoulders and covering the stole and alb. It is the proper Mass vestment of the priest and its colour varies according to the feast.
