  • St. Mary's Altar Server Manual
    ABOUT SERVING St. Mary’s By serving at the altar, you are participating in the greatest mystery of our faith: that God would come to dwell among us and offer his divine Son as a sacrifice for our redemption. Serving well allows everyone to pray reverently and maintains the dignity of the Mass. A good server is attentive Cathedral to the liturgy and able to move when needed without drawing attention to him/herself. Serving at the altar is an honor that is not open to everyone. Always conduct yourself in a way that commands respect, maintaining an attitude of honor and respect. Altar servers help everyone pray and worship God, but especially assist the priest in the celebration of the sacred mysteries. Everything in the liturgy is directed to manifesting the glory of God. Servers should be mature enough to understand their responsibilities and to carry them out well in a graceful and reverent way. They should ordinarily have already been admitted to receiving Holy Communion. Servers should receive proper formation before they begin to function. The formation should include instruction on the Mass and its parts and their meaning, the various objects used in the liturgy (their names and use), and the various functions of the server during the Mass and other liturgical celebrations. Servers should also receive appropriate guidance on maintaining proper decorum and attire when serving Mass and other functions. Since the role of server is integral to the normal celebration of the Mass, at least one server should assist the priest. On Sundays and other more important occasions, two or more servers should be employed to carry out the various functions normally entrusted to these ministers.

  • 3.0 Area of Review and Corrective Action Plan
    3.0 Area of Review and Corrective Action Plan This chapter describes how site geologic and hydrologic information were used to delineate the Area of Review (AoR) as it is defined in 40 CFR 146.84(a). This chapter also addresses the extent to which the Alliance needs to undertake corrective actions for features within the AoR that may penetrate the confining zone and how such corrective actions will be taken if needed in the future. Section 3.1 describes the computational model that was used to delineate the AoR, including a description of the simulator and the physical processes modeled, along with a description of the conceptual model and numerical implementation. It also describes the AoR and how the AoR will be reevaluated over time. Section 3.2 describes the Alliance’s corrective action plan. Chapter 3.0 is intended to demonstrate compliance with 40 CFR 146.84. 3.1 Area of Review The EPA GS Rule (75 FR 77230) defines the AoR as “the region surrounding the geologic sequestration project where underground sources of drinking water (USDWs) may be endangered by the injection activity” (40 CFR 146.84). Section 3.1.8 describes delineation of the proposed AoR for the Morgan County CO2 storage site. All requested data (wells, cleanup sites, surface bodies of water, structures intended for human occupancy, etc.) for this area are provided in this application; the same information is also provided for a larger survey area of 25 mi2 to demonstrate conclusively that USDWs will not be endangered by injection activities. As discussed in Section 2.6, the natural ambient hydraulic head conditions within the proposed injection zone beneath the Morgan County storage site are higher than the hydraulic head conditions measured in the lowermost USDW (St.

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.

  • Liturgical Manual for Deacons
    Liturgical Manual For Deacons ROMAN CATHOLIC DIOCESE OF PHOENIX 2012 REVISION PREFACE OF AD 2007 This liturgical guide for deacons was developed to be a practical tool for the preparation of deacon candidates and for the on-going formation of those already ordained to the diaconate. It is a teaching resource for candidates and deacons. It is also intended to be a reference for pastors who have deacons assigned to the parish and especially for priest celebrants who have deacons assisting them at Mass. The aspiration is this document will help unfold the beauty of the sacred liturgy, promote understanding, prayerfulness, reverence, and unity in the liturgical service of deacons. This guide is intended to be a “living document” which will be reviewed, amended, and revised as needed to remain accurate, current, and useful. It will always be a work in progress as new and better ways are found to form deacons liturgically. The steps leading to the development of this guide were begun by Bishop Thomas J. Olmsted with his authorization of a study committee to facilitate the revision of the 1994 Liturgical Handbook for Deacons, which had become outdated. His directions to the committee were to draft a liturgical guide which (1) involved consultation with the primary stakeholders, (2) was developed under the leadership of the Office of Worship and facilitated by the Office of the Diaconate, (3) which included consultation with an outside expert in liturgy and the diaconate, and (4) was practical for the use of deacon candidates, deacons, priests, pastors and the bishop. Members of the study committee were Roslyn Gutierrez, past Director of the Office of Worship, Sr.

  • Directory for the Liturgical Ministry of Permanent Deacons.Pdf
    DIRECTORY FOR THE LITURGICAL MINISTRY OF PERMANENT DEACONS PERSONNEL Permanent Deacons 2019-June-02 “The service of the deacon is the Church’s service sacramentalized. Yours is not just one ministry among others, but it is truly meant to be, as Paul VI described it, a ‘driving force’ for the Church’s diakonia. By your ordination, you are configured to Christ in His servant role. You are also meant to be living signs of the servant-hood of His Church.” St. John Paul II, Address to the Permanent Deacons of the USA, Detroit, (19 September 1987) When the deacon comes to serve, he must empty himself from all selfish concerns. He must see himself as servant of the liturgy and never its master. He must minister to the priest and to the altar with the humility of Him whose very Body and Blood were offered on the altar of the cross. When he comes to proclaim the Gospel, the deacon must empty himself of all his worldly wisdom that he might be filled only with the wisdom of God. He must decrease so that the Word of God might take root in him and those who hear his voice may hear not him, but Christ Jesus who lives in him. His acclamation of “the Gospel of the Lord” must ring authentic and true. When he proclaims intercessions or invites the people to prayer, the faithful must recognize in him the trustworthy and compassionate man to whom they may go with any of their needs. The poor must know him as their friend.
