1 SFC EXTRAORDINARY MINISTER OF COMMUNION PROCEDURE as of March 22, 2012 During the Sign of Peace, the minister with hosts from section three should go to the tabernacle and get the ciborium, so they are back in the sanctuary by the Lamb of God. Section three minister will ALWAYS bring up the ciborium (whether there is a deacon or not). At the Lamb of God all ministers will come to their stations. Please stand in the aisles instead of in front of the pews. After the priest has communed, the Precious Blood minister from section four and the Body and Blood ministers from section three will come forward to the south (choir side) of the altar. Ministers from section three and four will receive communion, then all extraordinary ministers of communion will come forth and receive the Body and Blood of Christ from ministers three and four. AFTERWARDS, each minister will go to the altar and the priest will hand them the cup and plates, and they will circle back to their stations. In essence, enter the sanctuary on the south side, depart on the north side, in effect making one large loop. When all the ministers have received Communion, be attentive to make sure that the altar servers also receive the sacrament. At masses with the choir or a large ensemble of musicians, station one ministers will serve them last. If you are waiting for the pianist, cantor or choir director, please stay over beyond the organ, to avoid a bottleneck. As the ministers of the Precious Blood finish in their sections, please check to see if other stations need their cup. Do not pour from one cup to another. If someone needs assistance, please swap with them, or stand beside and assist. If not, then return cups to the sacristy, and if there is Precious Blood to be consumed in the sacristy other ministers can assist with that. DO NOT POUR DOWN SACRARIUM OR SINK. As the ministers of the Body of Christ finish at each section they will check if other ministers are in need of their extra hosts. Do not pass them from bowl to bowl, but exchange bowls, or get more from the priest. After that they will go up the stairs and the priest will take their plate, or they may leave it on the altar. Empty bowls are not to be stacked as they scratch easily. The PRIEST will place hosts in the ciborium. Minister Three will return the ciborium to the tabernacle. Sometimes there are members of the congregation who receive special low-gluten hosts. When you return the Blessed Sacrament to the tabernacle, individuals may be there waiting. There is a special smaller container that is clearly marked. You should offer them Holy Communion from this with the opposite hand from you distributed the congregation, as they are allergic to the wheat.
2 UPON BRINGING VESSELS TO THE BACK SACRISTY As the cups and bowls are brought to the sacristy, you may begin PURIFYING and CLEANSING them right away ACCORDING TO THE NEW PROCEDURES IN THE VIDEO. Usually two members may do this, and can complete it at that time EVERYBODY IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS BEING DONE. EVERYTHING SHOULD BE PUT AWAY BEFORE DEPARTING Please do this in a reverent silence, and remember that any talking or banging of vessels carries out into the congregation. Jill Maria Murdy Director of Liturgy and Music March 22, 2012 BACK SACRISTY ARRANGEMENT (as of March 22, 2012) EAST WALL Finger Towels, Corporals, Purificators Glass Bowls, Asperegum Weekday Chalice, Patten, Cruets, Weekday cups Cups, Chalice Lavabo Bowl, Hand Towel, Key Rack Assorted Bowls Cleaning Supplies Microfiber Cloths (Purifying) Flour Sacks (Drying) WEST WALL Sunday Bowls (NOT STACKED Small Hosts in Boxes Sunday Cups Weekday Bowls Small Hosts/Large Hosts in Metal Weekday Cups Refrigerator with Wine Linens Bin. DO Not Put Wet in Use DRYING RACKS Additional wine/hosts Other basic Extraordinary Minister information: There is no scheduled times to serve. Please volunteer. Medallions are found on the rack in the Narthex Not only do they help us know when all positions are filled, the colors help the priest know whether to give you a chalice or a cup Please me mindful of sanitation. One should not be coughing or blowing nose and then distributing communion. We do make sanitzer available for your use. Common sense is the guide here. We would like to get an updated list of Extraordinary Ministers of communion. If you do not sign up on a sheet today PLEASE call or jill-maria@stfcabrini.com with your phone, AND information. Thank you.
3 Weekend Sacristan Check-list Before Mass: Put out the orders of worship if they have not been already. Put key in the tabernacle; estimate how many hosts are in the ciborium (300 is full to the top) Gospel book stand on the altar Light candles in the sanctuary Fill cruets of water and wine Fill chalices and ciboria with new breads and wine (see sheet in sacristy for numbers), set out sufficient number of purificators for each chalice Ask the celebrant which priest chalice he would like to use if one is not already set out. Take the celebrant s chalice to the old sacristy and arrange on it in this order: the purificator, the paten (with large bread), the pall, and the corporal; the dressed chalice goes on the credence table. Make sure there is a reader Make sure there is a server Make sure it is clear who is bringing the hosts from the tabernacle Make sure there are people to bring up the gifts Check with the celebrant to make sure the Missal is set the way he wants it; take the missal to the sanctuary and set it closed on the metal book stand between the two server s chairs Make sure the reader has taken the lectionary to the ambo Help find extraordinary ministers for Communion; have people take the medallions directly off of the wooden rack themselves so they know where their position is for distributing After Mass: Extinguish candles Return to the sacristy the Missal, the lectionary, and the book of the Gospels Key out of the tabernacle and back in the old sacristy After the 4:30pm Mass and 6pm Masses Lights off in the church, the narthex, and the sacristies Turn sound system off, turn air conditioning off Close and lock the new/7 th street sacristy
4 Weekday Sacristan Votive Candles Candles in back of church votive candles need to be re-filled each day Watch the supply of new ones; inform Jill Maria when more are needed The Empty plastic candle sleeves can be recycled- bin in sacristy Replace tabernacle candle when it is almost out. *Check low-gluten hosts in tabernacle to see if new ones should be consecrated Set up for Mass put Key in tabernacle, estimate the number of hosts in the ciborium Keys for tabernacle, sacristy, church doors, sacristy cabinets will be kept in old sacristy Set out new altar breads for Mass if needed; try to use what is in the tabernacle and estimate accordingly o School Masses all require more breads and communion stations Prepare Wine Set up chalices and ciborium o Non-school Masses ~ 2 chalices and priest s chalice, 2 ciboria o School Masses ~ 4 chalices and priests chalice, 4 ciboria School kids will be present on Tuesday and Fridays unless there is an all-school Mass that week; these exceptions will be noted on the calendar Prepare the priest chalice; eventually those will all be in the new sacristy: chalice, purificator, the paten (with large bread) then pall, then corporal. Father will set chalice out in new sacristy before Mass After Mass put all articles away help clean vessels if needed. Weekday Lectors Readers should look up daily readings on the internet at: and go over each day s readings for mass; it is important to carefully review the readings before they are proclaimed. Lectors are volunteers who participate in the celebration of the Holy Eucharist by proclaiming the Word of God during the Liturgy of the Word at Mass. Lectors are trained by the pastor or deacon, and are placed on a Liturgical Ministries Schedule in a weekly rotation. Typically there is one reading and one psalm; on Solemnities there may be two readings. Before Mass, Lectors should review the lectionary in the sacristy, and then place it on the ambo before mass begins. You may sit anywhere during Mass When Mass is concluded, the lectionary should be returned to the sacristy. There is no need to carry any books in procession during mass
5 Weekday Servers (Men/boys and Women/girls) All servers should wear an alb and cincture. Adult sizes need to be ordered for sizes to fit adults (not enough right now). Before Mass: takes up the Missal to the credence table Once celebrant has seen the missal Five minutes to mass time a server should light all appropriate candles around the alter. During Mass: Servers carry the cross in the procession, hold the missal for the priest celebrant when he is not at the altar, present the bread, wine, and water to the priest during the preparation of the gifts or assist him when he receives the gifts from the people, wash the hands of the priest, assist the priest celebrant and deacon as necessary. Servers should be seated in a place from which they can easily assist the priest celebrant and deacon- server chairs behind the ambo. The place next to the priest is normally reserved for the deacon. Altar servers will be scheduled for a week at a time; please find a sub if you cannot make a day. During the school year, typically servers will only be needed on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays. Servers DUTIES AFTER MASS Extinguish the candles by using the proper tool. Do not smash the wicks. Do not blow out the candles.
