  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Training Your Chalice Assistants Liturgy File 506
    Training your Chalice Assistants Liturgy File 506 Authorisation ‘At present the diocesan bishop may give permission to named lay people to assist in the distribution of the sacrament in both kinds in the course of a service of Holy Communion in church. In order for this to happen, request is made to the suffragan bishop by the incumbent supported by a vote of the PCC.’ Ad Clerum 8 This permission does not extend to the administration of the elements by lay persons to those who are sick or housebound, for which further special permission from the Bishop is needed. It follows that selection of such ministers (subsequently termed ‘assistants’) should rest on both the actual need within the church and that the parish priest and PCC should be content regarding their moral stature and good standing within the Christian Community. It should be emphasised to all that, episcopal permission is for a three year period only, after which this lapses. This provides a regular opportunity for review by the incumbent and PCC. Theological training Unlike some other English dioceses which have a formal course for candidates for this ministry, in the Diocese of St Albans, training is done entirely in the local church. It is preferable that some insight is given into the history and development of the Eucharist in the Church of England, and that as a result, candidates will have some awareness of the breadth of Eucharistic practice, both of administration and reception of communion in traditions other than their own. This is especially important when ministering to visitors from other churches.

  • A Handbook for Chalice Bearers Church of the Holy Spirit Anglican
    A Handbook for Chalice Bearers Church of the Holy Spirit Anglican “Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God—this is your spiritual act of worship.” (Romans 12:1 NIV) Purpose The chalice bearer plays a vital role in helping their ministers cultivate an environment in which worship may be celebrated with reverence and awe, allowing for full participation by the gathered assembly. Responsibilies A few reminders for Chalice Bearers: If you are unable to serve on your assigned day, please find your replacement. Please call Brenda Price and let her know of the replacement or trade of service dates. Please do not call the church office. Brenda will notify those involved. If you are ill or facing a travel emergency and are unable to find a replacement, please call Brenda as well, but remember that, under normal circumstances, making an effort to find replacements is your responsibility. Preparation The chalice bearer is to regard their office and assignments seriously, a commitment of time and talent in service to the Lord; a holy responsibility. It is important to learn the order of the service and liturgical terminology, understanding that in the Eucharist, God becomes present to us in the elements by the power of the Holy Spirit, making one a part of the working of this sacred time. Dress Serving in this highly visible role, please dress appropriately, by this we mean professional (basically business casual in our parish) with dark colored dress shoes (dark suede comfort shoes are fine – never appear in tennis shoes, flip-flops, jeans, shorts, etc.).

  • Vessels and Vestments
    Vessels and Vestments Things That Are Used at Mass Family Formation Home Lesson Week of October 25, 2020 Kindergarten-6th Grades 30th Sunday in Ordinary Time FINDING JESUS IN THIS LESSON All the things we are learning about in this lesson are sacred - set apart for the holy purpose of use during the Mass. When we go in the sacred space of a church, see the beautiful vestments, chalice, paten, and tabernacle, it helps prepare our hearts to receive all the wonderful graces Jesus wants to give us during that Mass. Making these beautiful gifts and setting them aside for the liturgy gives honor to Jesus and remind us that He is worthy of the best we can give; both material offerings, and the offering of our whole lives. BEGIN WITH SCRIPTURE [Come to Jesus] “like living stones, let yourselves be built into a spiritual house to be a holy priesthood to offer spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.” 1 Peter 2:5 Dear Lord Jesus, today we are learning about all the beautiful things in a church that lead us closer to You. Be with us as we learn and help us to remember that the best thing of all is to work on living in a way that will form our souls into something beautiful for you. We thank You for the gift of Your Church, for the gift of our parish, and for the gift of our family. Amen. PREPARATION The activity for this lesson is a scale model of all the pieces that are used at Mass.
