The faithful around the table are animated by the graces of the sacrament to growth in belief and understanding of God and so live a life ever so close to the intent of the Father. QUALIFICATIONS FOR BECOMING AN EXTRA ORDINARY MINISTER OF HOLY COMMUNION Any confirmed Catholic adult (16 years and older) of good moral standing wishing to serve as an Extra Ordinary Minister of Holy Communion may approach the parish priest to apply to be an Extra Ordinary Minister of Holy Communion. Training is required prior to serving at Mass. Meetings are scheduled by the ministry coordinators on a regular basis. All Extra Ordinary Ministers of Holy Communion are required to attend these seminars to acquaint them with their roles as Extra Ordinary Ministers of Holy Communion. In order to be properly disposed to receive communion, Extra Ordinary Ministers of Holy Communion, like all other Catholics, should not be conscious of grave sin and should have fasted for one hour. It is encouraged that all Extra Ordinary Ministers of Holy Communion receive the Sacrament of Reconciliation regularly. Extra Ordinary Ministers of Holy Communion should in every way demonstrate by their reverence for the Holy Eucharist that they truly believe that this is not just bread and wine, but the very Body and Blood of the risen Lord. Their manner of dress (the best in your closet and decent) their respectful silence, their grace-filled movement, and their care with the Sacred Species are observed by all the people. One should not accept this obligation of responsibility unless he or she is willing to carry it out with deep faith and an awe inspired sense of God's presence. PRE-MASS PREPARATION All Ministers The schedule will be available in the church narthex and on the parish website www.stjamesparishokotoks.catholicweb.com. Also ministers who have email will receive a copy and those who do not will receive a copy by mail. The first name on the list is the Lead Minister. The lead and the second ministers prepare the altar. The lead minister brings the Sacrament from the tabernacle to the altar, together with the celebrant, concelebrant and other Extra Ordinary Ministers of Holy Communion, distribute the Body of Christ. The remaining (6) Ministers distribute the sacred blood. When a Deacon is present at Mass with the Priest, he will bring the Blessed Sacrament (gluten and low gluten hosts) from the tabernacle to the altar and also at the end of communion will return them. Extra Ordinary Ministers of Holy Communion Guidelines Page 4 of 8 All Ministers are responsible for being present at their scheduled time. If you are unable to attend, you are responsible to obtain a replacement. Upon arrival all Ministers will find the ministry schedule and check off their names indicating that they are present. All Extra Ordinary Ministers of Holy Communion should arrive 15-20 minutes before Mass and inform the Lead Minister and check off the schedule. Extra Ordinary Ministers of Holy Communion are asked to dress respectfully for this ministry. Men are to dress in a shirt with a collar and women should wear modest clothing. The receiver of Holy Communion should be taken in by Jesus he/she receives and not be distracted by the person who offers him/her Communion. Extra Ordinary Ministers of Holy Communion should sit near the front of the congregation and participate fully in the celebration of Mass. Lead Minister The Lead Minister will be responsible to ensure that all positions for Extra Ordinary Ministers of Holy Communion are filled, and if need be, recruit from the congregation if a pre-assigned Extra Ordinary Ministers of Holy Communion are missing. The Lead Minister will also ensure that the family designated to bring the gifts to the altar is present and understands their responsibility. The Lead Minister should be the first to arrive for Mass. Preparation before Mass The Lead and Second Ministers bow before the altar and proceed to the credence table (table behind the ambo). Check that the sacramentary, chalice, communion cups (6) or (2), corporal, pall, purificators (7) or (2), ciboriums (6) or (2), flagon, the finger bowel, cruets and hand towels are all in place. Check to see that the tabernacle key is in place. When approaching the tabernacle, remember to show the appropriate sign of reverence, which is a genuflection. MASS RESPONSIBILITIES Preparation of the Altar at Offertory At the conclusion of the Prayers of the Faithful the Lead and Second Minister will proceed in front of the altar, bow, and go to the credence table and prepare the various sacred vessels and other items to be used in the Eucharistic celebration. If a Deacon is present, the preparation of the altar will be done by him along with the Lead Minister. Please position the chalices closer to the corporal so that the priest is able to reach and give to the Minister of the Cup.

The Lead Minister will place this on the left side of the Altar (as you face the congregation). The Chalice, Corporal, Pall and Purificator The corporal is to be spread in the centre of the altar and unfolded that the creases are towards the altar. (Do not flip over.) Extra Ordinary Ministers of Holy Communion Guidelines Page 6 of 8 Place the priest’s chalice on the right side of the corporal. Leave the purificator and pall in place on top of the chalice. The Second Minister will place the remaining chalices, with a purificator beside each chalice, in front of the corporal and the ciboria to be placed on the left and right side of the chalices. (See diagram on page 5). The Lead Minister will position the ciboria and purificators as noted on diagram on page 5. When a Deacon is present for the celebration, he will set up the ciboria, the priest’s chalice, the corporal and the Missal. At communion the Chalices and Ciboria will be given to the Extra Ordinary Ministers of Holy Communion by the priest. The Extra Ordinary Ministers of Holy Communion, who will serve the Precious Blood, are to position themselves on the West side, behind the altar, and the those who will serve the Precious Body will position themselves on the East side, behind the altar. Immediately after they have received the Chalice or Ciboria, they will go down to their assigned places and offer the Sacred Species to the people. See diagram below for position of Extra Ordinary Ministers of Holy Communion for the 10:00 a.m. Mass. Communion for the 7:00 p.m. Mass.

Wait for the communicant to respond with a bow and "Amen”. If the communicant fails to respond, say "Amen" for them. Do not alter the words. Place the host reverently in the person's hands or on the tongue of the communicant. If you observe someone, particularly children, not consuming the host immediately, please say "please consume the Host" or some similar statement. For the distribution of the Precious Blood, each minister should offer the cup saying, "The Blood of Christ." Wait for the communicant to respond with a bow and "Amen."

  • Extraordinary Form of the Roman Rite At
    Mass in the Extraordinary Form of the Roman Rite A Solemn High Mass celebrated in the Extraordinary Form of the Mass of the Roman Rite (according to the 1962 edition of the Roman Missal) is scheduled for Sacred Heart Cathedral on Sunday, September 15, 2019, 3:00 pm. Fr. Daniel Geddes from the Priestly Fraternity of St. Peter, Pastor of Holy Family Parish in Vancouver, will be the celebrant. As a simple explanation, in 2007 Pope Benedict XVI issued a document entitled “Summorum Pontificum” which gave priests anywhere around the world permission to celebrate the Mass using the 1962 Missal. In his letter to bishops concerning the document, he explained that the liturgical tradition of the Roman Rite incorporated two forms – the ordinary, which we celebrate regularly, and the extraordinary, to which many have continued to be devoted. Both forms belong to the Roman Rite and are to be seen as the continual flow of the 2000-year liturgical tradition of the Church. The pope emphasized there was no fracture of the tradition at the Second Vatican Council. Both forms are celebrated in Latin, although the current edition of the Roman Missal allows for vernacular languages to be used. The Apostolic Letter, Summorom Pontificum was issued on July 7, 2007 and carried an effective date of September 14, 2007. Hence, 12 years after the letter’s effective date, Mass will again be offered at Sacred Heart Cathedral in the Extraordinary Form of the Roman Rite. Members of the UnaVoce Prince George Chapter will be providing servers and a schola (choir).

  • A Comparison of the Two Forms of the Roman Rite
    A Comparison of the Two Forms of the Roman Rite Mass Structures Orientation Language The purpose of this presentation is to prepare you for what will very likely be your first Traditional Latin Mass (TLM). This is officially named “The Extraordinary Form of the Roman Rite.” We will try to do that by comparing it to what you already know - the Novus Ordo Missae (NOM). This is officially named “The Ordinary Form of the Roman Rite.” In “Mass Structures” we will look at differences in form. While the TLM really has only one structure, the NOM has many options. As we shall see, it has so many in fact, that it is virtually impossible for the person in the pew to determine whether the priest actually performs one of the many variations according to the rubrics (rules) for celebrating the NOM. Then, we will briefly examine the two most obvious differences in the performance of the Mass - the orientation of the priest (and people) and the language used. The orientation of the priest in the TLM is towards the altar. In this position, he is facing the same direction as the people, liturgical “east” and, in a traditional church, they are both looking at the tabernacle and/or crucifix in the center of the altar. The language of the TLM is, of course, Latin. It has been Latin since before the year 400. The NOM was written in Latin but is usually performed in the language of the immediate location - the vernacular.

Effective September 14, 2007, Pope Benedict XVI loosened the restrictions on the use of the 1962 Missal, such that the special permission of the bishop is no longer required. This action was taken because, as universal shepherd, His Holiness has a heart for the unity of the Church, and sees the option of allowing a more generous use of the Mass of 1962 as a way to foster that unity and heal any breaches that may have occurred after Vatican II.

And may the souls of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, Rest in Peace. Amen. Grave of Father Thomas Merton at Gethsemane, Kentucky "This is what I think about the Latin and the chant: they are masterpieces, which offer us an irreplaceable monastic and Christian experience. They have a force, an energy, a depth without equal … As you know, I have many friends in the world who are artists, poets, authors, editors, etc. Now they are well able to appre- ciate our chant and even our Latin. But they are all, without exception, scandalized and grieved when I tell them that probably this Office, this Mass will no longer be here in ten years. And that is the worst. The monks cannot understand this treasure they possess, and they throw it out to look for something else, when seculars, who for the most part are not even Christians, are able to love this incomparable art." — Thomas Merton wrote this in a letter to Dom Ignace Gillet, who was the Abbot General of the Cistercians of the Strict Observance (1964) An American Requiem: AN American expression of our Roman Rite Requiescat in Pace Praying for the Dead The Carrols were among the early founders of Maryland, but as Catholic subjects to the Eng- lish Crown they were unable to participate in the political life of the colony.

  • Virtual Communion Liturgy
    Virtual Communion liturgy iSto dio Invitation to the table ck.com/Iknuitsin Stu As we prepare to celebrate the Lord’s Supper, I invite you to look at the elements before you — the bread . the juice. There is probably nothing all that special about them. (If you have provided communion elements to your congregation describe them at this time. Otherwise use below words.) Maybe you have this morning’s left-over French toast, a piece of Wonder bread, a bagel from the grocery store. Maybe you had to scrounge at the back of the refrigerator for juice with a questionable expiration date, or you’re hoping no one notices you’re celebrating with cranberry. But there is beauty in the ordinary, because in the work of the Spirit, the ordinary becomes holy. iStock.com/marigold_88 As we break bread from miles apart, Christ invites our ordinary selves, with our ordinary bread. As we break bread from miles apart, we bear witness to something we imagine from our sanctuary (or insert other space where you worship) but we cannot see — the expansive, far-reaching table of God. Siblings in Christ, your table may look like your kitchen table, your coffee table, your very own lap, but it is an extension of the Lord’s great banquet, and from east and west and north and south, you are invited to bear witness to an extraordinary meal in ordinary packaging — a feast of grace, love, and hope at the table in the kingdom of God. Let us share in the feast that Christ has provided.
