  • The Centrality of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass at Christendom College
    THE CENTRALITY OF THE HOLY SACRIFICE OF THE MASS AT CHRISTENDOM COLLEGE The Church teaches that the Eucharist is “the source and summit of the Christian life”1 and that the celebration of the Mass “is a sacred action surpassing all others. No other action of the Church can equal its efficacy.”2 That is why “as a natural expression of the Catholic identity of the University. members of this community . will be encouraged to participate in the celebration of the sacraments, especially the Eucharist, as the most perfect act of community worship.”3 Those central truths are taught and lived at Christendom College, a “Catholic coeducational college institutionally committed to the Magisterium”4 of the Church, in the following ways: The Celebration of the Sacred Liturgy The Holy Sacrifice of the Mass • Mass is offered frequently: twice daily Monday through Thursday, three times on MONDAY (Friday), twice on Saturday, and once on Sunday (the day on which we gather as one family). • Mass in the Roman Rite is celebrated in all the ways offered by the Church: in the Ordinary Form in both English and Latin, and in the Extraordinary Form from one to three times per week, as circumstances permit. • The Ordinary Form of the Mass is celebrated with the solemnity appropriate to each feast, utilizing worthy sacred vessels and vestments, and drawing upon the Church’s rich tradition of chant, polyphony, and hymnody. • The Ordinary Form of the Mass is celebrated reverently and with rubrical fidelity. • No classes or other activities are scheduled during Mass times. • The majority of the College community attends daily Mass regularly and with great devotion.

  • Blessed Sacrament Catholic Church Stewardship of Time and Talent
    BLESSED SACRAMENT CATHOLIC CHURCH STEWARDSHIP OF TIME AND TALENT Dear Parishioners, “What return can I make to the Lord for all he has given me?” The Stewardship process helps us to answer this question posed in Psalm 116. This insert presents the various activities that make up the ministries of Blessed Sacrament Parish. More than ever, we need your participation to make the body of Christ a living, breathing reality. I ask you to consider what is a precious commodity—your time. Time is the one thing over which we actually have some control. Please take the time to sit down with your family and discuss how you can more fully participate in our parish life. Our Father has endowed each of us with special talents. Review your own treasury of resources and decide how they can best serve God. Some of our ministries are fully functional; others need leadership. No matter how small you may think your contributions are, any committee would be eager to have your help. Along with my thanks for your life with us, I add the prayer that your giving will always be generous and your joy in serving will always be great and full. Pax, Fr. Joe OPPORTUNITIES TO SERVE WORSHIP Eucharistic Ministers (Sick & Homebound) We go to the hospitals, nursing homes and visit the homebound. Eucharistic Ministers carry the Body of Christ to parishioners and nursing home residents who cannot attend Mass. The time of the weekly visits is flexible. Altar Flowers The flower guild enhances the beauty of our church with its weekly flower arrangements and continual upkeep of flowers and plants in the church and social hall.

  • INSTRUCTIONS: Exposition / Adoration / Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament Resources the Norms Which Govern Eucharistic Exposit
    INSTRUCTIONS: Exposition / Adoration / Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament Resources The norms which govern Eucharistic Exposition, Adoration, and Benediction are found primarily in the 1973 text from the Congregation for Divine Worship, Holy Communion and Worship of the Eucharist Outside of Mass Chapter III: Forms of Worship of the Eucharist (HCWEOM). In addition, the USCCB’s Bishops’ Committee on the Liturgy published Thirty-One Questions on Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament in 2004. Vocabulary The term “adoration” refers to prayer before the Blessed Sacrament, whether reserved in the tabernacle or exposed for veneration. Adoration by itself is an act of personal piety and not governed by liturgical norms. “Exposition,” the displaying of the Blessed Sacrament outside the tabernacle in a monstrance or ciborium for the veneration of the faithful, on the other hand, is a liturgical rite and is governed by its own norms. As part of the liturgical life of the Church, exposition never takes place simply for the private devotion of an individual. “Benediction” refers to the blessing given by a priest or deacon using the Blessed Sacrament in the monstrance or ciborium. After Benediction, the Blessed Sacrament is reposed in the tabernacle. Ministers The ordinary ministers for Eucharistic Exposition are priests (presbyters and bishops) and deacons. They vest in alb (or cassock and surplice) and stole. If exposition takes place using a ciborium, they also wear the humeral veil for Benediction. If the monstrance is used, they use the humeral veil and wear a cope for the rite. Priests and deacons use incense as directed in the rite.
