1: the SITE of a CHURCH the First Thing to Do When Building a Church 1 1: THE SITE OF A CHURCH The first thing to do when building a church is for the Bishop and the architect he has commissioned and approved to choose the most suitable site. It is particularly important that the location of the church, wherever it is built, should be up high. If this location is completely level, it should at least be sufficiently prominent so that access to the church will be by three or at the most five steps. If the topography is such that there is no more elevated part, then the church should be built on a base so that it will be raised and rise up over the plain, and the floor will be reached by means of those three or five steps.{1} So that there will be greater veneration in the church and to keep it, insofar as possible, far from all noise which might disturb the divine offices, care must also be taken in choosing the site that it be far from muddy and dirty areas, from all kinds of filth, stables, sheep pens, taverns, forges, shops, and markets of all kinds. Places of this kind should also be far from the surrounding areas of the church. Care must also be taken in choosing the site for the church that the building will appear as a separate block, that is unconnected to and separated from the walls of the surrounding buildings by a space of several paces, as will be explained further on with regard to the street, as established by the ancients and required by correct criteria. This can be most easily done in the towns and places where buildings are not crowded together. On the proximity and conjunction of ecclesiastical buildings with the site of the church It is not contrary to the criteria applied to the building of the church that the living quarters of the ministers of the church, that is the Bishop, the canons, and the parish priest, should be built to one side or the other, but not however adhering to the walls of the church. They should be connected to the church by walls that run through the free space mentioned above, and in general be in the proximity of the site of the church, as recommended by the canon of the Council of Carthage.{2} The living quarters of the ministers called custodians or sacristans can be built in a place adjacent to the church or the sacristy, or above the sacristy itself (as can be seen in some churches) so that the ecclesiastical furnishings entrusted to these ministers will be better protected from danger of sacrilege, theft or fire. However in building this residence, care must be taken above all that the structure does not obstruct or disfigure the façade of the church or block windows or openings or furnish impediments of any kind. Secondly, there should be no openings or windows in the dwelling which look into the church. Lastly there should be no door providing an entrance into or path through the 1 2 church that could be used by persons and things for domestic, private or daily use, but only a door to be used by those who enter for their duties, regarding the divine offices. The general area of the church Care must be taken that the general area chosen for the church not be in a damp or marshy place or near hills or steep slopes where a torrent or some other strong flow of water might damage the building. If however it is necessary to build on a slope, it will be leveled according to the size of the future church, leaving a level area of twelve or more cubits, according to need, at the back and on the sides, between the church and the slope that has been cut away, which will then have a solid wall, after channels have been dug on both sides for carrying off the water which will at times flow in. The size of the site of the church The size of the site of the church must be such as to accommodate not only the people living in the place where the church is being built, whether it is a parish, a collegiate, or cathedral church, but also taking into account the influx of other faithful on determined holy days. A criteria not to be disregarded is that for every person there be a space of one cubit and eight ounces square, in addition to the space occupied by the columns, piers and walls.{3} 2 3 NOTES Chapter I, pp. 1. In the Vitruvian tradition there was a certain classicism, which if not broadly interpreted, was inadequate to meet the demands of the new stress on active liturgical participation. The demand for more parochial churches, oratories, and votive chapels left little opportunity to seek out ideal sites in heavily populated areas. To contrast the Vitruvian tradition with the Borromean instructions for choosing a site, we shall first refer to Vitruvius and then to a more contemporary source, that of Pietro Cataneo whose work was published in Venice in 1554. Vitruvius I, vii For the temples (the sites for those of the gods under whose particular protection the state is thought to rest and for Jupiter, Juno, and Minerva) should be on the very highest point commanding a view of the greater part of the city. (f) Cataneo, vi The duomo or above mentioned cathedral church should be in an eminent place so that it can be seen from many sections of the city, in order to celebrate there, in that [church] more than in any other, the divine cult; for there God is atoned, and the church becomes the stronghold of the city.(g) Ecclesiastical architecture under the Instructiones seeks to take on a pedagogical and functional aspect. While it is true that Cataneo on occasion isolates the problem of Christian building and refers to the medieval symbolism found in Durandus, for the most part his concept here is concern for the splendor of the temple and its complement to the dignity of a city. Palladio, whose treatise was published approximately fifteen years later than that of Cataneo, placed the temple in a more practical situation. Palladio, IV, I We…shall choose those sites for temples that shall be in the most noble and most celebrated part of the city, far from dishonored places, and on beautiful and ornamented piazzas in which many streets finish, whereby every part of the temple may be seen with its dignity, and afforded devotion and admiration to whomever sees and beholds it. And if in the city there be hills, the highest part of them is to be chosen; but in case there be no elevated places, the floor of the temple is to be raised, as much as convenient, above the rest of the city. One is besides to ascend to the temple by steps; since the ascent alone to a temple is what affords greater devotion and majesty. The fronts of temples must be made to face the greatest part of a city, that religion may seem to be placed as the safe-guard and protectrix of the citizens. (f) Vitruvius, ed., H. Morgan, The Ten Books on Architecture (Cambridge, 1914), p. 31. (g) L'Architettura di Pietro Cataneo Senese (Venice, 1554; repr. Gregg Press, N.J., 1964), I, vi. Il duomo, o chiesa catedrale sudetta, sia posta in luogo eminente, accioché da più parti della città possa esser veduta, peroché, per celebrarsi in quella più che in ogni altra il culto divino, se ne placa Iddio e ne divine difensore della città. (Author's translation above.) 3 4 But if temples are built without the city, then their fronts must be made to face the public streets, or the rivers, if they are built near them; that passengers may see them, and make their salutations and reverences before the front of the temple.(h) Borromeo as early as 1576 prescribed the following at the fourth Provincial Council: that no church be built without the written authorization of the bishop; that the new structure be in a decent location; that the church be large enough to accommodate the parishioners, and that it be a free standing building, so that one might walk around it.(i) Interestingly enough, the next few clauses reveal the traditional symbolic aspect as cited by Durandus and the other adherents of medieval symbolism: "Let him [bishop] see to it that in every respect it [church] be built in such a manner that it not depart from ancient custom and approved tradition, that the priest celebrating Mass at the main altar may face east." …curetque omino ita illam aedificari, ne ab antiquo more, probataque traditione discedatur, ut sacerdos in altari maiori Missam celebrans, Orientem spectet. (AEM, 318) Barocchi, in her commentary in Trattati d'arte del cinquecento, cites only the first part of the above prescription using it as a basis to emphasize Borromeo's practical attitudes. True, this second section as quoted above reveals a traditional aspect, but it in no way detracts from Borromeo's objective attitudes. Within the year (i.e., the time between the cited directive and the publication of the treatise), he will have dropped the stipulation for eastern orientation. 2. The Council of Carthage, IV, was held in 398: reference is to canon fourteen, De cellula sacerdotis. 3. Borromeo's sensitivity to space is characteristic of his entire work. As the norms are discussed, it becomes more and more obvious that he makes every attempt to give a time and place for architectural space and function.

This explanation was written by Fr. Victor De Gagné, The Prayer Intentions concludes the Liturgy of the Word and the focus of the Mass now shifts to the Liturgy of the Eucharist. Liturgy of the Eucharist: -The Collection & the Offering of the Gifts The collection and the offering of the bread and wine have been present in Christian worship since the very beginning. The gifts of the community are presented to the priest for the needs of the Church and of the poor. Justin the Martyr describes this collection and offering of gifts in his letter dating from the 2nd century: “Then someone brings bread and wine to him who presides over the assembly. They who have the means, give freely what they wish; and what is collected is placed in reserve with the presider, who provides help to the orphans, widows, and those who, through sickness or any other cause, are in need, and prisoners, and traveling strangers; in a word, he takes care of all who are in need.” By the collection, we exercise Christian charity; sharing our blessings with those who have nothing. -The Preparation of the Gifts Once the gifts of bread and wine have been carried to the altar, the priest offers a prayer of blessing to God for his generosity, for the produce of the earth and for human labour which have created the gifts to be used for the Eucharist.

  • Altar Server Guide R2
    Altar Server Guide Altar Server Rolls: • Master of Ceremony (MC) • Cross • Candles (2) • Water & Wine • Book (Roman Missal) • Bells (1) I. INTRODUCTORY RITE PROCESSION All altar servers gather in the narthex at the front of the church approximately 5 minutes before the Mass is scheduled to begin. Cross brings the cross and Candles (2) bring the candles with them to the narthex. (MC brings a lighter in case the candles go out) Cross leads the procession to the altar. Candles/Water & Wine follow Cross. Bell follows Candle/ Water. Book follows Candle/Wine. Additional altar servers follow Bell and Book. When the procession reaches the top of the altar, the altar servers who are not carrying anything make a slight bow to the altar and go to their places. Cross and Candle/Wine go to the right. Book after bowing goes directly to the chair next to the book stand. Cross places the cross in the cross holder and remains on the presider side of the altar. Candle/Wine places the candles in the candle holders next to the altar and then go to a place on the credence table side of the altar. Bell also goes to a place on the credence table side of the altar. Any remaining altar servers will go to assigned spaces. All altar servers remain standing praying and singing with the people (congregation). The priest(s) and deacon(s) follow in procession. When they reach the altar they bow. They continue to the rear of the altar and reverence the altar. The presider and deacon(s) proceed to the presiders area.

From what we have read of this addition to our liturgical literature, we feel safe in recommending it to the clergy of the Archdiocese. Father Schulte has made this depart- ment of sacred science a special study for several years and has been eminently successful in conveying to others his knowledge of its details. An extensive, exhaustive, and practical treatise is the natural outcome of such applied qualifications on the part of the gifted and indus- trious author.

An altar server is a lay assistant to a member of the clergy during a religious service. An altar server attends to supporting tasks at the altar such as fetching and carrying, ringing bells, setting up, cleaning up, and so on. Until 1983, only young men whom the Church sometimes hoped to recruit for the priesthood and seminarians could serve at the altar, and thus altar boy was the usual term until Canon 230 was changed in the 1983 update to the Code of Canon which provided the option for local ordinaries (bishops) to permit females to serve at the altar. The term altar server is now widely used and accepted. When altar servers were only young men and seminarians the term acolyte was used. An acolyte is one of the instituted orders which is installed by a bishop. The title of acolyte is still only given to men as it is historically a minor order of ordained ministry. This term is now usually reserved for the ministry that all who are to be promoted to the diaconate receives at least six months before being ordained a deacon (c.
