Duca. The protocols for Holy Week as well as the triduum, which are considered the “holiest three days” of the liturgi- cal year, were similar to what had been issued by the Holy See, according to Episcopal Vicar Father Jamin David. On Palm Sunday, March 28, processional palms were blessed at the beginning of the ceremony and distributed in some fashion, but no processions from one place to an- other were allowed. Holy Thursday’s tradition of washing of the feet also disappeared. Also, the Blessed Sacrament procession re- mained in the church. The veneration of the cross Good Friday was held with- out touching or kissing of the cross, although the faithful were able to venerate the cross by bowing. Even the Chrism Mass was celebrated one day before its traditional Wednesday of Holy Week date and, for this year only, was moved from St. Joseph Cathedral in Baton Rouge to St. George Church in Baton Rouge. In-person at- tendance was limited to invitation only because of physical distancing regulations. SEE CHRISM PAGE 16 Bishop Michael G.

  • Would You Kiss the Leper Clean?
    SIXTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME FEBRUARY 11, 2018 WouldWould YouYou kisskiss thethe LeperLeper Clean?Clean? FROM FATHER PHIL My Dear Parishioners and Visitors, “Will you kiss the leper clean and do such as this unseen, and admit to what I mean in you and you in me?” hese are the words from the third verse of Fr. John Bell’s hymn, The Summons. This verse, in particular, brings me close to tears each time it is sung. What a beautiful depiction of a love that knows no bounds. In Zeffirelli’s film Brother Sun, TSister Moon , during the early stages of St. Francis of Assisi’s total con- version to God, we see Clare sharing bread with the outcast lepers of As- sisi, St. Francis is appalled and turns away. As his transformation under God’s grace takes place, he himself is able to witness in similar and ex- traordinary ways God’s love. Wednesday marks the beginning of Lent, culminating at Easter, the greatest, most wondrous and permanent change the world has known. I hope that we, like St. Francis and Clare under the grace of God, as indi- viduals and a community will dare to receive the love that is offered by God and share it unashamedly. Pray about celebrating Reconciliation during Lent. If you do not usually frequent this sacrament, as a family, create time in your home for prayer together, not forgetting that silence shared (small doses at first) has the potential for touching and changing hearts. If you are able to attend mass an extra time, try it.

  • Traditional Latin Mass (TLM), Otherwise Known As the Extraordinary Form, Can Seem Confusing, Uncomfortable, and Even Off-Putting to Some
    For many who have grown up in the years following the liturgical changes that followed the Second Vatican Council, the Traditional Latin Mass (TLM), otherwise known as the Extraordinary Form, can seem confusing, uncomfortable, and even off-putting to some. What I hope to do in a series of short columns in the bulletin is to explain the mass, step by step, so that if nothing else, our knowledge of the other half of the Roman Rite of which we are all a part, will increase. Also, it must be stated clearly that I, in no way, place the Extraordinary Form above the Ordinary or vice versa. Both forms of the Roman Rite are valid, beautiful celebrations of the liturgy and as such deserve the support and understanding of all who practice the Roman Rite of the Catholic Church. Before I begin with the actual parts of the mass, there are a few overarching details to cover. The reason the priest faces the same direction as the people when offering the mass is because he is offering the sacrifice on behalf of the congregation. He, as the shepherd, standing in persona Christi (in the person of Christ) leads the congregation towards God and towards heaven. Also, it’s important to note that a vast majority of what is said by the priest is directed towards God, not towards us. When the priest does address us, he turns around to face us. Another thing to point out is that the responses are always done by the server. If there is no server, the priest will say the responses himself.

  • The Sanctuary and the Altar
    THE SANCTUARY AND THE ALTAR GLOSSARY OF TERMS ALTAR CANOPY Required by liturgical law to cover at least the altar and predella (to denote the dignity of the altar and the priest, which represent) there are several names that refer to distinct types: • Baldacino (baldachinum and in English, baldaquin): a canopy made of textile suspended from the ceiling. The word comes from the Italian word for “Baghdad” where the type of textile (made from silk woof and metallic warp) once came from This term is often mistakenly used in reference to a ciborium or civory. • Ciborium, civory: a canopy borne by columns. • Tester: a canopy suspended from the ceiling, or even attached directly to the ceiling. This is a particular favorite of English- style churches AMBO A pulpit-like lectern, from which the Epistle and Gospel were once read. Some churches had two, located on either side of the sanctuary, while other churches had only one. Often the ambo(s) was located on the rood screen and had to be ascended by a stairway, whence came the name, Gradual (steps) referring to the proper chanted before the Gospel, for it would be chanted while the deacon (often with the subdeacon, thurifer and acolytes) would ascend the steps while it was sung. St. Clement’s Basilica in Rome still has matching ambos. ANTEPENDIUM [altar frontal] A rectangular vestment used to cover the front of the altar. The term comes from the fact that it is often hung in front of the altar either from a suspending rod just under the mensa or from the middle altar cloth.

  • Holy (Maundy) Thursday
    This evening we will celebrate Holy Communion. Because Holy Communion is a confession of the faith which is confessed at this Holy (Maundy) altar and because those who eat and drink our Lord’s body and blood unworthily do so to their great harm, we ask that any who have not Thursday received Holy Communion from Pastor McCall and desire to receive 1 April A✠D 2021 the Sacrament to first speak with the pastor. Those not communing with us today are welcome to come to the altar during The Distribution to receive a blessing, crossing the arms over the chest once knelt to indicate such a desire. Passiontide extends through Holy Week and the Triduum (“three holy days”—which includes Maundy Thursday, Good Friday, and Holy Saturday). At the conclusion of the Maundy Thursday service the altar will be stripped, the sanctuary decorations, such as the candelabra, paraments, etc., will be removed. Even the altar crucifix will be carried out. All that will be left in the sanctuary are the pieces of furniture, laid bare. The intensity builds from now until the Easter Vigil when we finally arrive at the empty tomb but not at an empty altar. The Gloria in Excelsis and chanting of the ordinaries return in tonight’s Divine Service as we take the first step of three in the Triduum to joyfully arrive at the Great Easter Vigil on Saturday night. ✠ The Divine Service ✠ ✠ Hymns ✠ 7:00pm Abiding Savior/ 446 The Prelude 627:1-5 The bell tolls three times to signify the beginning of service in reverence of Mount Olive 627:6-10 the Holy Trinity.

Such is the liturgical role of the Sacristan within the parish. The General Instruction of the Roman Missal describes the Sacristan’s role in Chapter III: Duties and Ministries in the Mass, in a single line 105. A liturgical function is also exercised by: a) The Sacristan, who diligently arranges the liturgical books, the vestments, and other things that are necessary for the celebration of Mass. The Sacristan’s role is, however, further spelled out in a book entitled Caeremoniale Episcoporum or the Ceremonial of Bishops, first published in 1886. The holy preparations in which Sacristans are entrusted are the basic framework for the beautiful and sacred objects that are used and carried out before, during, and after the Mass. It’s a serious job that one must undertake with care and wisdom. In reality, your role as a Sacristan is so much more. You are also accepting responsibility for so many aspects in the preparation for the Liturgy, such as Lectors, altar Servers, greeters/ushers, etc. In a parish of this size, it is important that the Sacristan follows the instructions found in the following pages.

  • Thurifer at the 9.30 Mass
    THURIFER AT THE 9.30 MASS GENERAL MATTERS 1. A punctual arrival in the sacristy is essential. 2. Although the Sacristan makes every effort to see that the sanctuary is in readiness, the thurifer, in co-operation with the server, should always check the following details - a) that the furniture is properly placed and that hymn-books are provided for the Celebrant and other clergy who may be present (as well as for the thurifer and server); b) that the ciborium and large wine cruet are at the back of the church for the children (or sidespeople) to bring forward. The two chalices are on the credence table – the larger one complete with patten and priest’s wafer. Also on the credence table should be the lavabo bowl and towel, and the small cruets for wine and water; c) that the amplifier (controlled from the back of the church) is on and that the microphones at the lectern and in the pulpit are functioning; d) that the missal stand with book (including the day’s propers) is on the altar; e) that the alms dish is near the server’s place; f) that the correct numbers are displayed on the hymn-board. The Thurifer is responsible for placing of the brazier of coals and incense on the altar (pulpit side). This brazier contains a copper bowl which needs to be lined with foil. Please note that the brazier should not be placed directly on the altar cloth. Another white cloth (such as a lavabo towel) should be placed under the brazier.
