Designated EM Directions Before Mass Unlock the Tabernacle And Designated EM Directions Before Mass Unlock the tabernacle and leave the key in it. Check the ciborium to see how many hosts are left from the previous Mass. A full ciborium is about 250 hosts. We want about 200-250 leftover in the tabernacle. The new larger hosts have caused us to over-judge the actual amount in the tabernacle and this leaves us critically short after mass. • HOSTS: Be sure to use the new larger communion hosts in the square plastic containers (not the sleeved ones). Estimate the appropriate amount of hosts for that mass plus the desired 200-250 leftover amount. Place the largest diameter host on top of the communion hosts in the large ciborium. NOTE: At some of the masses when more than 500 unconsecrated hosts are needed you will need to use an additional ciborium and place it along with the large ciborium at the gifts table. The large ciborium cannot safely hold more than 500 without the danger of spillage. • WINE: Pre-pour the appropriate amount wine into the appropriate number of cups. DO NOT OVER FILL WINE CUPS ( trays in cabinet above sink ) Use a small cruet for the priest’s wine (about 1.5 to 2 ounces) • Take the large ciborium and the small wine cruet to the gifts table in rear of chapel. • Take the empty ciboria (one for each Host server less the number of ciboria in the Tabernacle) to the left side of the left credence shelf. For example, if it is a 4Host/4Cup setup you would have 3 empty ciborias plus the one in the Tabernacle. • Take the tray of pre-filled wine cups and equal number of purificators to the left credence shelf (just to the right of the empty ciboria) • Take the Priest’s chalice with 1 purificator lying over top and the 1 corporal on top of that to the right credence shelf. We currently do not use the paten (plate on top of the chalice). • Talk with Priest/Deacon to see if they want to take wine cups and/or empty ciboria to the altar or if DEM should. 7/15/2008 FINAL CHECK LIST • Gift Table in back 1. Large ciboria with unconsecrated hosts and large host on top 2. Wine cruet – with a little wine (about 1.5 to 2 ounces) 3. Basket (may already be on gift table) if none there DO NOT WORRY. • Left credence shelf (when facing altar) 1. Empty Ciboria on the left side of this shelf 2. Tray of pre-filled wine cups and purificators on the right side of this shelf • Right credence shelf (when facing altar) 1. Folded Hand towel (white terry cloth) 2. Pewter Bowl and pitcher for water to clean priest’s hands - don’t forget to check the water in the pitcher. 3. Small cruet with water 4. Priest’s chalice with 1 purificator lying over top and the 1 corporal on top of that. we currently do not use the paten (plate on top of the chalice) • Altar 1. There should be two corporals already on the right and left side of the main altar cloth (the embrodried cross should be near the edge of the altar) Sit where you can easily get out during the service. Keep alert during the service. If you see the priest or deacon looking around they might need assistance. Add more hosts if needed because there are a lot of late arrivals to Mass. 7/15/2008 During the service (see note above about checking with deacon if you will transport the pre-filled cups to the altar ) Designated Cup Minister goes up right after the prayers of the faithful. Go as soon as you see the ushers passing out the offering baskets. Put the pre-filled cups on the choir side of the altar on top of the corporal and return the tray back to the credence shelf. Return to your seat. Designated Host Minister At the beginning of the Lord’s Prayer, go to tabernacle, genuflect when you open it, remove covered ciborium, close the doors and lock it but DO NOT REMOVE THE KEY. Carry the covered ciborium down aisle with grace (DO NOT RUSH) and stand at front pew till the peace greeting for all. Take the ciborium to altar and if priest or deacon hasn’t gone to get the empty ciboria, get them - take tray back to credence shelf after he has put the ciboria on the altar. Return to your seat. COMMUNION: All EM’S to altar As soon as the priest consumes the Sacred Host , all EM’s should move to the altar to their appropriate position – PLEASE do not crowd the priest. Heels should be on the edge of the tile if you are a cup minister. This has been a problem for the services with 4Hosts/4Cups setup. The host ministers can return the ciboria to the altar (on a corporal) after either the priest or the deacon has returned to the altar to start the consolidation of hosts for the tabernacle. After the host consolidation, the Designated Host Minister takes the covered ciborium with the consecrated hosts back to tabernacle and do not genuflect until after you have placed the ciborium into the tabernacle. Then lock the tabernacle. Take the key back to sacristy if there isn’t a mass to follow within 2 hours . After Mass Remove items from credence shelves such as the trays, large ciborium, wine cruet, and maybe even the chalice if it wasn’t carried back after communion. Empty the water from the pewter bowl and return it to the credence shelf with the pitcher sitting inside it. The small water cruet can be left on the credence but the water should be replenished if needed. Take the money basket back to the gifts table. The designated ministers should wait in sacristy until priest/deacon arrives to “purify” the cups and ciboria that contained the Body and Blood of Christ from that service. The designated ministers should then clean the vessels with soap and water, properly dry and put these back into the vessel cabinet. If there isn’t another service for more than 2 hours, please lock this cabinet and place the key in the designated place. 7/15/2008 7/15/2008 Glossary ci·bo·ri·um A covered receptacle for holding the consecrated wafers of the Eucharist. n. pl. ci·bo·ri·a Corporal - from the Latin "corpus", meaning "body", because it is used to catch any pieces of the consecrated Host (regarded as Christ's Body) which might fall from the paten during the Eucharist. It is also symbolic of the Lord's grave cloths. The corporal should be a piece of linen, about 12 to 18 inches square, with a cross in the center of the front edge. It is laid on top of the altar cloth at Communion, and the chalice is placed in its center. It should be folded and ironed inside-out, so that when it has been used at the Eucharist it can be folded up with the right side inwards, to hold any fragments of the Host. Credence are the shelves against the wall to the left and right behind the altar Tabernacle (Latin tabernaculum , tent). The tabernacle holds the ciborium that contains the Blessed Sacrament. The tabernacle is located in the small chapel to the left (west side) of the altar. Towel is a piece of white terrycloth material, usually about 12 inches by 8 inches which is used to dry the celebrant's hands after the ablutions. Purificator - from the Latin "purus" (pure) and "facare" (to make). The purificator should be a piece of white linen, about 8 to 12 inches square (or three times the width of the chalice), with a small cross in the center. It is folded and ironed into thirds, right side out, to give a square with the cross in the center. When preparing the altar for Communion, a purificator is opened half-way and put over the chalice so that its sides hang down either side. Purificators are used to clean the chalice, by wiping the rim of the chalice with the purificator. 7/15/2008 .

    File Name: "3-Step Plan Article #9 Conduct of the Service by ACP" (45 pages) THE CONDUCT OF THE SERVICE According to the Rubrics of The Lutheran Hymnal, The Lutheran Liturgy, The Lutheran Lectionary, and The Music for the Liturgy1 By Arthur Carl Piepkorn (1907-1973☩) Concordia Seminary Print Shop, 1965. 44 pages. Edited by Philip James Secker. Revised 3/17/19. 40 pages. Editor's Note: Arthur Carl Piepkorn's classic monograph The Conduct of the Service is primarily about the rubrics of the Service, but contains a great deal of information about what is in Piepkorn's 1962 classic monograph The Architectural Requirements of the Lutheran Cultus (which is in 3-Step Plan Article #7 The Full 3-step Plan). "Cultus" is a Latin loan word that refers to adiaphora, that is, things that are neither commanded nor forbidden by God such as architecture, altars, banners, baptismal fonts, candles, holy communion vessels and rails, hymnals, musical instruments, offering plates, pews, unleavened holy communion wafers, vestments, etc. So both monographs should be used together. The following book is now available as a computer searchable CD that can be searched for additional information on what is in those two monographs: The Sacred Scriptures and the Lutheran Confessions, edited and introduced by Philip J. Secker, Foreword by Robert Kolb, Volume 2 in The Selected Writings of Arthur Carl Piepkorn, CEC Press, 2007, 313 pages. This edition of The Conduct of the Service is Copyright©2018 Philip James Secker but may be reproduced as long as it is reproduced in its entirety.

  • 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.

  • Understanding the Parts of the Mass
    Understanding the Parts of the Mass EXPLANING EACH PART OF THE MASS BY FR. FRANCIS J. HOFFMAN, JCD I know you’ll learn something new about the Mass and I hope that it helps to deepen your faith. Please feel free to share these lessons with your friends and family, and Be assured of my prayers. 1 HOLY WATER As you enter the Church, look for the Holy Water font near the entrance. It is a pious custom to dip your right hand in the font and bless yourself with the Holy Water as you quietly say, “In the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.” This little ritual reminds us of our baptism – that’s why the font is near the door of the Church, because we ‘entered the Church through baptism.’ At the same time, this gesture is also a sacramental and can absolve us of our venial sins. It helps remind us that we have just entered into a sacred place for a sacred time. GENUFLECTION “At the name of Jesus, every knee must bow.” That’s what St. Paul wrote years ago. And so, as the priest and ministers approach the altar they make a genuflection to honor the Real Presence of Jesus in the Eucharist in the tabernacle. If the tabernacle is not in the center of the sanctuary, then the priest bows to the altar and the crucifix as a sign of reverence. When the faithful enter the Church, and before they enter their pew, it is praiseworthy for them to make a genuflection to the tabernacle.

  • 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.
