• Check with the Presider, before Liturgy, to see if there will be anything special during the Liturgy.
• Check the IPAD Kiosk to see if there have been sub requests.
• Note: the silver key, which is on a blue lanyard with the Jerusalem cross pendant, opens all classrooms and closets. If you have a request to unlock/lock a room, please do so yourself, so we maintain control of the key at all times.

Before Liturgy

1. Please arrive and sign-in at least 30 minutes before Liturgy. Please wear Mass Coordinator (MC) name tag.

2. The liturgical minister and pen (only use binder if iPad is not working to avoid confusion) and Mass Count sheets should be on the table outside the Sacristy. The counter gadget for the hospitality minister is in the "Admin" drawer. Please make sure it has been reset to all zeros. The IPAD is charging in the sound closet in the Sacristy. Be sure to set it outside the Sacristy as well for check-in.

3. Check to make sure lights are turned on (including niches in corners). The Sound System and opening of the SAFE will be handle by a staff member.

4. In the center of the carpeted area outside of the Worship Space should be the following items in height order as you walk from the Commons to the Worship space:

   • Offertory basket & food basket on floor near Gifts Table
   • Gifts Table: Large Golden Ciborium with the LID containing unconsecrated small hosts and the pitcher of wine as early as possible before Mass (See 11 below for final amounts.). If pyx is requested, place in the Gold Ciboria filled with the unconsecrated hosts. Use a sticky note to put name and number of hosts, if more than one, on the bottom of the pyx. Low-gluten hosts are kept in the cabinet with the other hosts in a green box. The pyx for low-gluten hosts is in the safe.
     Additional lo-gluten hosts are kept in the refrigerator in the kitchen.
   • Place the Book of the Gospels in on the Icon stand in the carpeted area outside the sacristy.
   • Place the Processional Cross is in the stand in the carpeted area

5. Set up (or check) the credence table:

   • one cup and purificator for each cup position plus 2 extra purificators on the tray
   • one stackable pewter ciboria (bread bowl) for each bread position used (including deacon). Father will use the large Gold ciboria from the Gift Procession.
   • Large Chalice with: (PLACE THESE ITEMS IN ORDER ON TOP OF THE CHALICE) - purificator, gold paten large host goes on gold platen on top of chalice), pall, and corporal on top (SEE PICTURE ON SACRISTY CABINET FOR PROPER SET-UP)
   • Corporal
   • 2 Small pitchers (one glass, one pewter) at least ¾ full of water and empty glass bowl (Lavabo) and one (special purificator). On the silver tray place 4 filled (for large mass) cups with wine, cover each with purificator. In the middle of the cups place the Lavabo with pewter pitcher on top along with special purificator. SEE PICTURE ON SACRISTY CABINET FOR PROPER SET-UP
   • NOTE: Number of cups, ciboria and purificators may increase/decrease depending on the Mass in which you are serving or for special Mass. (i.e. Christmas, Easter, Confirmation)
6. If there is no Cross Bearer, please place the Sacramentary commonly known as the Roman Missal on the Altar. (This book is usually sitting next to the Presider's Chair in the Sanctuary)
7. Place Lector Guide (from Sacristy counter) and Lectionary, both opened, on Ambo. Always check to be sure they are set on the correct weekend.
8. Make sure all liturgical ministers have signed in no later than 15 minutes prior to Liturgy, find replacements for no-shows (Please mark N/S for no-show).
9. Make sure Hospitality has located a gift "family". [This "family" can be 4 or 5 individuals or two small families. It doesn't have to be a family of 4 or 5.] Ask them to select people strategically (i.e., baptism families, mothers on Mother's Day, dads on Father's Day, military members on Memorial and Veteran's Day, Scouts on Scout Sunday). They will be instructed to come back to the carpeted area as soon as we finish with the Prayers of the Faithful.
10. Make sure Cross Bearer has lit the candles on the Altar. (Include the Paschal candle for Baptisms and EVERY weekend from Easter Sunday through Pentecost.)
11. Prepare Hosts and Wine
    • BREAD: Send up ene large host and enough small hosts to cover the "hospitality count". [If count is in question, do a visual check of attendance. Always check the Ciborium before Mass in the tabernacle - if it's more than half full you can cut back one sleeve of 100
    • WINE: Using a lined pewter cup (in Cabinet to the Left of the sink) - Measure wine to the top line - Do this process once per scheduled cup station PLUS one more cup for Presider Chalice into the pitcher. (For example: 4 Cup Stations plus the Presider Chalice equals 5 measured cups). Refer to the current Liturgical Minister schedule for the number of Cup stations. Please use strainer/filter if necessary.
12. Please gather as many liturgical ministers as possible for prayer outside the Sacristy 5 minutes before Liturgy begins. Deacon usually leads the prayer.
13. If Hospitality has not already done so, please remember to record Mass Count on the sign-in sheet.

1. Once the Procession begins, please assist Hospitality in preventing entrance of parishioners into the worship space until the Presider has entered the Sanctuary (after bowing before the Altar). The Sanctuary is where the Altar is located on the wooden platform. Parishioners can come in after that point and can continue to enter throughout the readings EXCEPT during the Proclamation of the Gospel.

2. At the 8:30 and 11:30 a.m. Masses--At the beginning of the Creed, give the CLOW leader the "five minute" warning to wrap up their session. Do not allow the children into the worship space until the Preparation of the Gifts begins.

3. During Preparation of the Gifts, brief the gift "family" on what to do. Line them up immediately in two pairs in the Commons about 6 feet from the glass doors. The first pair carries the baskets (one with the collection, the other with food) and the second pair carries the bread and wine. Instruct the basket carriers that they should follow the Cross Bearer, and when the Cross Bearer nears the Presider or Deacon, the Cross Bearer will step aside. The Gift Bearers should go right up to the Presider or Deacon to give them the gifts. Presider or Deacon will take the baskets and hand them to Altar Servers to place on steps. The pair carrying the bread and wine should then step up to the Presider or Deacon. The Presider or Deacon may say another blessing and then he will take the hosts and wine from them and hand them to Altar Servers who will carry them to Altar.

4. ONE COLLECTION WEEKEND: When the Presider or Deacon comes down from the Altar and you have all the collection money in the basket, send the gifts down the aisle.
   TWO COLLECTION WEEKEND: When the Presider or Deacon comes down from the Altar and you have BOTH collections in their respective baskets, send the gifts down the aisle. DO NOT SEND UNTIL ALL MONEY HAS BEEN COLLECTED AND PLACED IN THE GIFTS BASKET(S).

5. FOR HOLY COMMUNION: After the Priest has self-communed (after we say "Lord I am not worthy.."), count the number of EMs you see gathering at the carpet. If needed, you could be an EM. (Sometimes the people who are scheduled forget to go up and serve)

6. MC can receive Eucharist at any convenient time during Holy Communion.

7. The wine will be consumed at the end of Holy Communion either at their Cup station or at the Credence Table. Cups are purified by the Presider or Deacon. As the MC, you may go to the credence table as the Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion (EMs) gather there and offer to help consume the remaining Blood of Christ. Sometimes this is necessary when a large amount is left unconsumed.

1. During the Recessional, push Button III and OK on the Bell tower screen to start the outdoor bells.
2. Immediately after the Liturgy, the MC is to bring the offertory and food baskets from the Altar to the Sacristy. Place the offertory collection in the bank bag marked for that liturgy and give it to the carrier. THERE MUST BE 2 (TWO) UNRELATED ADULTS PRESENT WHEN HANDLING THE MONEY-THE CARRIER CAN BE ONE OF THEM. Quickly straighten the cash and checks to place in the bag. (You are not required to sort it, but please just make sure it's relatively neat and all fits in the bottom half of bag.) If there is a Second Collection (first full weekend of the month and other special times), place in separate bag marked "second collection" or place in the bag marked with the organization benefitting from the collection, i.e., Catholic Charities. The Carrier takes all the bags to the bank. If there is no carrier, place the bag/s in the safe in the sound closet. DO NOT FORGET TO SIGN THE BANK LOG BOOK WITH THE CARRIER AND/OR HOSPITALITY WITNESS, which is kept in the bank bag drawer.
3. Wait for EMs to bring back the vessels and plates to be washed. Do not immerse Presider's Cup into the water, just clean with the cloth. ALL SACRED VESSELS ARE KEPT IN THE SAFE
4. Put away any wine bottles and recycle empties in the blue recycle wastebasket in the sacristy. This basket may need to be emptied into the recycle bin outside the kitchen.
5. Books:
   • After the Saturday 5pm Mass, leave the lector's guide and Lectionary on the Ambo (reset to starting place if needed). Place the Book of the Gospels on the Icon Stand in the Commons.
   • Since we have daily mass, always leave the Sacramentary (Roman Missal) on the Presider's table.
6. Place the dirty purificators and hand towel in the linens basket next to the sink on the right. (If some are too soaked with wine, soak in water in the sink and wring out in the Sacrarium. (Use the white basket as a drying rack.) If there is any Presence (Consecrated Host fragments) on the Corporal, gently shake into the sacrarium and follow with a small amount of water. If the basket is full there are spare plastic bags at the bottom of the basket or under the sink.
7. After 11:30am Liturgy, place soiled linens in plastic bag to be picked up by linen committee member. If not collected before you're ready to leave, then place in the gray box outside the door in the worship space and call the linen member who is scheduled. This box is actually located outdoors). Names and phone numbers are on the inside of the cabinet door above the sacristy phone.
8. After Saturday 5pm and Sunday 11:30am: turn off the worship space lights. Don't forget the "nooks" in the worship space.
   • Turn the bottom row of light knobs to the left until they click off.
   • Turn off the top row of switches.
   • Ensure Tabernacle key is returned to the box in the SAFE in the Sacristy.
   • Please make sure all outside doors are locked (includes the worship space, kitchen and room 3, and end of Education Wing) The Allen key is kept in the Administration drawer in the Sacristy.
   • Make sure the lights in the classrooms, hall and restrooms are all off.
   • Turn off all lights in the Commons.
   • As a last step: Be sure to shut the safe - you must turn the handle to lock it.

Sprinkling Rite

1. Use the Holy Water bucket and sprinkler from the SAFE. (Two buckets for Sprinkling Rite at
   Easter & Divine Mercy Sunday)
2. Place on the Credence Table BEFORE Mass
3. *Holy Water buckets are used at other times for Mass like at Advent to bless the Advent Wreath, for weddings, etc.

Incense

1. Hang the Thurible at the sink.
2. About 15 minutes before Mass, light two bricks of coal and place in the Thurible.
3. Get the boat (vessel that holds the incense and small spoon). NOTE: DO NOT PLACE INCENSE INTO THE THURIBLE AT THIS TIME: THIS IS THE PRIEST'S JOB
4. Hand the boat and prepared Thurible to the Censer (Altar Server who is serving with incense) to carry in during the procession.
5. The Censer then goes to Father who will place incense into the Thurible before the Procession begins
6. INCENSING OCCURS AT:
   • The Processional (Father will incense the Altar at the beginning of Mass)
   • At the Gospel (Deacon or Father will incense the Book of the Gospels)
   • At Preparation of the Gifts (Father will incense the Altar area, Deacon will incense
     Father and then the People)
   • During Consecration (IMPORTANT: When the Censer returns to the Sacristy after Preparation of the Gifts, he/she will remain in the carpeted area. MC needs to immediately add more coal if necessary AND THEY HAVE BEEN GIVEN PERMISSION BY FATHER AT THIS TIME ONLY TO ADD A SPOONFUL OF INCENSE TO THE THURIBLE! YOU MUST BE SURE THE THURIBLE IS SMOKING AND READY TO INCENSE DURING CONSECRATION. This happens
     QUICKLY! As soon as we sing the "Holy Holy Holy' the Censer MUST COME BACK DOWN THE AISLE with the THURIBLE to KNEEL IN FRONT OF THE ALTAR to INCENSE DURING CONSECRATION.
   • PLEASE REFER TO INSTRUCTIONS ON THE CABINET OF THE SACRISTY
7. Watch the Thurible and add charcoal as necessary throughout the Mass to ensure the Thurible remains ready. Please use caution when carrying the Thurible or when removing the top as the wooden knob gets extremely HOT!
8. Hang the Thurible outside the kitchen on its stand between uses during Mass- this will help prevent the smoke alarm from potentially sounding in the Sacristy due to smoke.
9. After Mass, you will empty its contents outside the door of the Kitchen in the rocks. Be sure there are no burning embers. You can use the tongs/trowel to empty the Thurible and spread the coals/ashes to extinguish all flames. Use a glass of water on the chunks of charcoal if needed.
