2 Reception of the Gifts: When the presider moves to receive the gifts, the lector stands behind him a little to the right (if there is no deacon). The A minister on that side stands to the right of the Lector. The A minister on the left side stands to the left of the presider on the same level as the other ministers. The layout below shows the usual positioning of everyone... (step) A_ L _A P (altar rail) If the deacon is present, he will stand with the presider and take all gifts from the presider and hand them to the appropriate person, otherwise, the presider will hand them to the appropriate person. The lector receives the book of petitions and immediately places it on the book holder. The A ministers receive the wine decanters. After receiving them, they immediately take them to the altar and begin pouring the wine into the cups, using a purificator to catch any possible drips. They take the empty decanters to the cup table and return to the pew. The A ministers greet the presider and go to their positions. (Be sure to leave a space for the presider.) If the deacon is not present the AB goes to the tabernacle and brings all the ciboria to the altar, carrying no more than two at a time, then goes to the AB position. If the deacon is present, he will bring the ciboria from the tabernacle. Ministers from the assembly enter the sanctuary during the sign of peace and go immediately to their positions on the altar (see figure below). Do not exchange the sign of peace with other ministers assembled around the altar. ministers should stand with their toes on the line in the black tile. AB B A P A B B3 3 After the presider drinks from the chalice, if no deacon is present, the B minister on the choir side steps forward to receive communion. That person will then go ahead of the presider, past the line of cup ministers and then follow the presider and offer the chalice to the other ministers. When finished, put the chalice back on the corporal. If there is Precious Blood left in the chalice leave it for the presider to consume. Step back into position. simply bow only your head as the person preceding you is The presider will hand each minister of the Bread a ciborium. The AB will immediately distribute the hosts to the people behind the ministers on the choir side, and then, if no deacon is present, proceed to the altar rail to wait for the presider. If the deacon is present, and the deacon will be standing by the presider, the ciborium will be handed to the deacon or placed on the altar and the AB will return to the pew. If needed, the AB may take a cup. Alternatively, the deacon may take a cup, in which case, the AB will stand next to the presider as usual. The ministers on the choir side will turn immediately after receiving the cup and communicate those behind them, then go to their stations, going around the end of the altar rail. When the presider hands the cup to a cup minister on the Mother's hapel side, the minister should immediately begin moving to his/her station, through the end of the altar rail. The A and B ministers should wait until the presider is ready and then proceed to their positions, going around the end of the altar rail. The 3 minister should go toward the back of the sanctuary on receiving the cup, where the B3 will join him/her and they will go to the Mother's hapel and choir together. (The choir may wait for the end of a verse or pause between groups or may wait until singing is done before coming to communion so be prepared to wait for them.) If the Mass does not have a B3 and 3 position, the Bread and cup ministers who finish first should go to the Mothers hapel and choir. EEM Procedures Page 2

For those not receiving communion, extend your hand over them and say something like May God bless you. Do not make the sign of the cross (that is reserved for the priest). If you anticipate a shortage of hosts, look around to see if someone has finished. If necessary, hosts may be broken in half. If you run out, you may exchange vessels with another minister. When any minister is finished, look to see if other ministers may be running short of Hosts or Precious Blood.
