Liturgical Vestments for Cathedrals During the French Concordat Period (1801-1905) A Political Strategy Maria Anne Privat Savigny [email protected] The Concordat treaty was signed in France in 1801 by Napoléon Bonaparte First Consul and gave to the Church of France a new statute. A Cult Administration was founded and became not only a powerful organization to control and finance religions in France, in particular, Catholicism but also an important political medium used by the various political régimes which followed one another in France during the 19th century (The First Empire (1804-1815), the Restoration (Louis XVIII and Charles X), 1815-1830, the Monarchy of July (Louis-Philippe) 1830-1848, the Second Empire (Napoléon III) 1852-1870 and the IIIrd Republic which starts in 1870).

  • Appendices 1 – 12
    APPENDICES 1 – 12 Religion Course of Study PreK-12 --- Diocese of Toledo --- 2018 Appendix 1: God’s Plan of Salvation -- A Summary (Used with permission, Diocese of Green Bay, WI) It is very important that before we dive into the religion Course of Study each year, we set the stage with an overview of God’s plan of salvation – the adventurous story of God’s unfailing love for us, his persistence in drawing us back to himself, and the characters along the way who succeed and fail in their quest for holiness. The context of the Story of Salvation will provide the proper foundation for the rest of your catechetical instruction. The Story can be taught as a one-day lesson, or a week long lesson. Each teacher must make a determination of how long they will take to present the Story to their students. It is important that the story be presented so that each of us can understand our place and purpose in the larger plan of God, as well as how the Church is central to God’s plan of salvation for the world. An overview of God’s plan is to be presented at the beginning of each year, and should be revisited periodically during the year as the subject matter or liturgical season warrants. Please make the presentation appropriate to the grade level. 1. God is a communion of Persons: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. The three Persons in one God is the Blessed Trinity. God has no beginning and no end.

  • Telephone Tic-Tac-Toe Bible Baseball
    Telephone Have the children sit in a circle on the floor. The teacher begins the game by whispering a sentence to one of the students. This sentence is taken from the lesson of the day. For example, to reinforce the promise of the Savior, the sentence could be, “God promised Adam and Eve that He would send a Savior.” The child, after receiving the message, whispers it to the child next to him. The message con- tinues around the circle in this way until the last person receives it. The last person then stands and repeats it for the entire class. If any child has difficulty understanding the message that is whispered to him, he may say “Operator,” which means that he needs to have the message repeated to him again before he can pass it to the next person. Bible Baseball 1. Set up bases around the room. 2. Choose teams. 3. Ask a question of a student on one of the teams. If he gets the answer, the student goes to first base and the next student is up for a question. If he misses the answer, that student is out. In this case, the next teammate must answer the same question. If three students on the same team cannot answer the question or if three questions are misssed, their team is out and the other team is up. 4. Points are received for “home runs,” that is, when a student has passed through all three bases and reached home base. Tic-Tac-Toe 1. Draw Tic-Tac-Toe grid on the chalkboard.

  • 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.

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.

    The Work of the People Worship Leadership Guidebook Chancel Guild 2007 2 Introduction Season by season, Sunday by Sunday, worship service by worship service, the many people who give of their time and talent to ensure that all is ready, who welcome, read, pray, serve, offer bread and wine are part of our treasure as a parish. You are part of that treasure. In this guidebook you will find some reminders of things you already know but have perhaps forgotten; details of things that may be new to you; and hopefully shared wisdom that will help you in your role in worship leadership. When you welcome in the visitor and the parishioner alike, we meet Christ in one another. When you read scripture and help the listener hear the story, perhaps for the first time, you help draw them in. When you offer intercessions you put into words or give space for words that which we need to offer up to God. When you assist the clergy as a server you help to put the liturgy in motion. When you offer the bread and the wine you feed the gathered community. When you work behind the scenes to set the holy hardware and the gifts of wine and bread in place you ensure that we are ready – ready to welcome, the listen, to pray and to be fed. Thank you for all that you do to support the worship life of the parish. 3 4 Introduction ........................................................................................................................ 3 Chancel Guild .................................................................................................................... 6 Saturday Set up .......................................................................................................................... 7 Chancel set up for the 9.30 service ..........................................................................................

  • Servers' Handbook 12/05/2009 Page 2 0010 Servers Handbook.Doc the CATHEDRAL CHURCH of the HOLY SPIRIT, GUILDFORD
    THE CATHEDRAL CHURCH OF THE HOLY SPIRIT, GUILDFORD SERVERS’ HANDBOOK 12th May 2009 THE CATHEDRAL CHURCH OF THE HOLY SPIRIT, GUILDFORD INTRODUCTION From the very first days of the Church’s life, her members have met at the least on every Sunday to take part in that act of worship which we know as the Holy Eucharist and in which, following our predecessors in the faith, we obey Our Lord’s command to, “do this in memory of me”. From the meal at Emmaus of which we read in the Gospel of St Luke, right up to the present moment, Christians have met regularly for this purpose. Over the years, the Eucharist has been given various names; the Holy Communion, the Lord’s Supper, the Mass, the Breaking of Bread, the Holy Mysteries. Theologians have tended to attach particular names to their own ideas about what happens during the service. Nevertheless, whatever name is used for the Eucharist, and however much theologians may debate it, the service will always remain a holy mystery; we shall never fully comprehend how God works in us through our participation in the sacramental action. What matters is that we do so in obedience to him and that we can trust him to be faithful and to be with us in our worship. This Handbook is presented in the hope that it will help servers to understand their ministry better and so develop both their own faith and their sacramental life. More experienced servers, for whom much of the content of the Handbook will be familiar, may nonetheless find it useful to have the material it contains brought together in this form.
