In 1948 a Parochial school and social center were constructed and opened on January 31, 1949, occupied by the Sisters of St. Joseph of Orange, Cali fornia. Two years after the addition to the rectory in 1954, the Paulist Fathers left Lubbock and the Parish was taken over by the Diocesan Priests.(4) Father Thomas Drury, presently Bishop of the Diocese of Corpus Christi, was appointed pastor in June of that year. St. Elizabeth's Church laid the foundation for future Lubbock Churches. Land purchased in 1956 was later developed into St. John Newman's Catholic Church facility.(5) A school and chapel facility at Frankford Avenue and 22nd Street was developed. The addition at the St. Elizabeth's parish allowed for the specialization of St. Joseph's to meet the needs of the city wide 'Spanish community of Lubbock. The development of St. Elizabeth's parish coincides with the expansion of Lubbock, Texas. As the city grew, the population of Catholics, students and community densities grew causing the context of the facility to alter greatly. Prior to the 1960's, the parish was typically for a large, dispersed city encompassing all boundaries. With time however, the parish was narrowed to a specific inter—city boundary. Demographic, social, and cultural, economic and political changes took place in the community structure that pin-pointed the efforts of the parish. a 0CC3 GC:3 0CI3 O ^ OC=3 @ lol OC3 ^ The changes dealt with: - academic improvement and expansion of Texas Tech University - southwest development of neighborhoods and micro- communities - economic movement from the central business 'district - social/political/economic dimension of locally adjacent neighborhoods to the parish, highlighting density, housing and standard of living conditions The then Dioceses of Amillio recognized the need for immediate planning to provide for these continually worsening circumstances in the future. The direction was toward a lessening of stress and tensions and to lay the foundation for reconstruction of a Catholic church facility. Texas Tech University Parish The Texas Tech University Parish church was formed in 1964 with the introduction of Father Titto Samuitt. The facility used was a remodeled funeral home. As the church-student center and a very dilapidated four room house that was bought and moved onto the site as the 1iving-spiritually intimate-quarters of Father Bamuitt.

The union of the Catholic Student Parish and St. Elizabeth's Parish Church informally took place in 1981. The old student church facility was used through 1982 until it was demolished. Since that time student participation and use of present facilities has been slack and inconsistent. The availability of student use or physical space was low and the setting was not congenial to the natural behavior of this particular group.

  • Dominican Rite Practicum
    LSFT 2405 Dominican Rite Practicum Prepared by the Instructor 2020 Dominican School of Philosophy and Theology Fall 2020 LSFT 2405 First Meeting: Saturday, 9/5, SAP Library, 7:30 pm Dominican Rite Practicum Instructor: Fr. Augustine Thompson O.P. Office Hours: TBA at St. Albert’s Priory Course Description This course is a 1.5 unit graded liturgical practicum open to Dominican friar students, normally after residency year, best in the year of deaconal or priestly ordination. The goal is to acquire the ability to celebrate Low Mass and Missa Cantata according to the traditional Dominican Rite in Latin. The outcome will be a correct and fluid "dry Mass" celebration of the Dominican Rite Low Mass and of the Missa Cantata. These two exercises will in equal parts provide the two graded "exams" of the course. The format will be a practicum in which students perform the rite under the direction of the instructor. Admission to the Class Dominican friars who would like to be admitted to the class need to arrange an interview with the instructor. At the interview they will be asked to recite from memory the texts found on the next page. This memorization is not-negotiable and will serve to prove that the student is ready to undertake the heavy memorization element of the class. As this class is only open to Western Dominican Province student brothers it will be held at St. Albert’s with social distancing. Required Books and Materials William R.

  • The Rites of Holy Week
    THE RITES OF HOLY WEEK • CEREMONIES • PREPARATIONS • MUSIC • COMMENTARY By FREDERICK R. McMANUS Priest of the Archdiocese of Boston 1956 SAINT ANTHONY GUILD PRESS PATERSON, NEW JERSEY Copyright, 1956, by Frederick R. McManus Nihil obstat ALFRED R. JULIEN, J.C. D. Censor Lib1·or111n Imprimatur t RICHARD J. CUSHING A1·chbishop of Boston Boston, February 16, 1956 PRINTED IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA INTRODUCTION ANCTITY is the purpose of the "new Holy Week." The news S accounts have been concerned with the radical changes, the upset of traditional practices, and the technical details of the re­ stored Holy Week services, but the real issue in the reform is the development of true holiness in the members of Christ's Church. This is the expectation of Pope Pius XII, as expressed personally by him. It is insisted upon repeatedly in the official language of the new laws - the goal is simple: that the faithful may take part in the most sacred week of the year "more easily, more devoutly, and more fruitfully." Certainly the changes now commanded ,by the Apostolic See are extraordinary, particularly since they come after nearly four centuries of little liturgical development. This is especially true of the different times set for the principal services. On Holy Thursday the solemn evening Mass now becomes a clearer and more evident memorial of the Last Supper of the Lord on the night before He suffered. On Good Friday, when Holy Mass is not offered, the liturgical service is placed at three o'clock in the afternoon, or later, since three o'clock is the "ninth hour" of the Gospel accounts of our Lord's Crucifixion.

  • 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.

  • The Service-Books of the Latin Church
    292 THE SERVICE-BOOKS OF THE LATIN CHURCH. Downloaded from HE object of this paper is to describe the Service-books of the Latin Church, more or less from a librarian's point of view, so that those who are not http://library.oxfordjournals.org/ liturgiologists may have some idea of their contents and may be enabled to distinguish one from another. It is not intended to be in any sense an exhaustive treatise, and it is purposely very elementary, nor does it contain any- thing new, or more than a very little that is not a mere commonplace to almost any priest, or even nun of an old Order, of the Latin Church who at Carleton University on July 15, 2015 knows his or her business properly. The services of the Latin Church may be classified under the following heads: 1. The Divine Office, that is to say, the Order of the weekly recitation of the Psalter, with accom- panying canticles, anthems, hymns, prayers, lessons, etc., at the Canonical Hours of Mattins (called also Nodlurns and Vigils), Lauds, Prime, Terce, Sext, None, Vespers, and Compline. 2. The Order of the Holy Eucharist. 3. The Order of the other Sacraments, viz., Baptism, Confirmation, Penance, Matrimony, the Unttion of the Sick, and Holy Order. 4. The Occasional Services, such as the Burial of SERVICE-BOOKS OF LATIN GHURCH. 293 the Dead, the Consecration of Churches, the Pro- fession of Religious, the Coronation of Kings, the Benediction of Abbots, and a very large number of Benedictions of various descriptions. At the present day these services are all to be found in four books: 1.

  • The Ceremonies of the Roman Rite Described
    PART IV THE LITURGICAL YEAR CHAPTER XXIII ADVENT TO HOLY WEEK S 1. ADVENT HE colour of the season in Advent is purple. The Gloria in exeelsis at Mass and Te DeuJlt at Matins are not said, except on feasts. 1 But Alleluia is said in the office, as usual, and on Sundays at Mass. T At Mass of the season the ministers do not wear dalmatic and tunicle, but folded chasubles, except on the third Sunday and Christmas Eve. From 17 December (0 Sapientia) to Christmas, votive offices and Masses or Requiems are not allowed. During Advent the altar is not to be decorated with flowers or other such ornaments; nor is the organ played at liturgical offices. But the organ may be played at non-liturgical services, such as Benediction; 2 and it is tolerated, even at Mass, if the singers cannot sing correctly without it. In this case it should be played only to accompany the voices, not as an ornament between the singing. The exceptions to this rule are the third Sunday of Advent (mid-Advent, "Gaudete") and the fourth Sunday of Lent (mid-Lent, "Laetare "). On these two days alone in the year the liturgical colour is rosy (color rosaceus).' On both the ministers wear dalmatic and tunicle, the altar is decorated as for feasts,' and the organ is played. On the week-days after the third Sunday (Monday, Tuesday, Thursday), when the Mass is that of the Sunday, repeated,' the colour is purple, the ministers wear dalmatic and tunicle, the organ is played. The same rule applies to Christmas Eve (see below, p.

However, the SSPX still makes use of a few rubrics from this book; cf. General House Decisions sheet.)

  • The Dominicans and Their Rite
    THE DOMINICANS AND THEIR RITE AUSTIN ANDREOLI, O.P. ELIGION in its essence resides in the soul, but the wor­ ship offered to God is and always has been outward as well as inward. The external actions serve not only to express the internal sentiments, but also to arouse and -intensify them. "God is a spirit," says Our Lord, "and they that adore Him, must adore Him in spirit and truth."1 We observe in every day life that men's mutual feelings regarding exterior objects ordinarily seek a common mode of expression. This mode of expression in religious matters, governed by estab­ lished laws, is technically and commonly known as a rite.2 Reli­ gious cult from its beginning has always made use of rites. However it was with the advent of Christ's divinely established institution that religious rite received its sacred and dignified meaning. Christ established the basic principles for the true worship of God and for the sanctification of men, and upon these principles His Church has erected its unique rite. The cere­ monies and prayers, the objects surrounding the ceremonies of this rite, represent the greatest facts and truths of religion. They give expression to what is most fundamental and deepest in Christian life, as is so aptly brought out in the words of the Council of Trent. ". Holy Mother Church has instituted certain rites . by which . the minds of the faithful throug'h these visible signs of religion and piety might be ex­ cited to the contemplation of the highest truths."8 The liturgy of the Church during the process of development became such an arbitrary thing, and so unorganized, that it was imperative that some sort of order should be established.
