Celebrant of the MassConfirmations will be celebrated by Archbishop Thompson. The information provided is relevant to the needs and preferences of the archbishop.

StipendsIt is customary that the archbishop receives a stipend for celebrating confirmation Masses at a deanery location and at SS. Peter and Paul Cathedral. When there is more than one parish, parishes should share the expense. The amount may vary, depending on the number of candidates and/or the travel distance, but the minimum suggestion is $150.00. The Archdiocesan Finance Office has asked that stipends for the Archbishop be sent through central payroll. When emailing central payroll please indicate his name, the date of the Mass and the amount he is receiving.

The Office of Worship gives a stipend to the master of ceremonies. Parishes do not need to give him an additional stipend.

Choosing a Confirmation Name A candidate may choose a Confirmation name or retain a recognized saint’s name given at Baptism. In either case it is important to have a saint’s name as part of the Confirmation rite. A Confirmation name is a permanent reminder which links the candidate with the way in which the mission of Jesus lives on in those special persons recognized by the Church as saints in its history. The process of researching the life of a saint can be an enriching part of the preparation program and can serve as the basis for reflection on the qualities of a present day witness for Christ. Family members and sponsors can assist the candidate in choosing a Confirmation name.

Letters to the ArchbishopAs part of the candidates’ preparation for the celebration of the Sacrament of Confirmation, the archbishop requests that each candidate submit a letter to him. This letter is meant to be more than just a statement from the young person asking for the sacrament. Since he cannot be a part of each and every formation program, the letters help the archbishop to see how the young people have been preparing for this celebration,

4

as well as for life strengthened by the Holy Spirit after the celebration. In addition, so many of the letters stand as a testament to faith and devotion of the young Church, a sign of hope for us all.

Since it is meant to address each young person’s own journey and preparation, the letter should not be a “form letter.” While some guidance may be given, it needs to stand as a composition of that individual. The candidates should state in the letter to which parish they belong.

The archbishop uses the information from the letters as a part of his homily, enabling him to speak to the experiences and needs of the candidates more personally. The archbishop does not use names from the letters in his homily so as not to embarrass anyone, aside from speaking about the selection of the saint name and why.

The letter should answer the following questions:

1. What does Confirmation mean to me? Why am I choosing to be confirmed?2. What saint's name did I choose and why?3. Whom did I choose for my sponsor and why?4. What did I do for my service hours? What did I learn/gain from the experience?

The letters must be submitted to the Office of Worship by the due date found in chapter 2. They may always be submitted earlier.

Letters may be mailed, emailed, faxed, or left at the front desk of the Catholic Center to the attention of Christina Tuley, Office of Worship. The letters should be submitted as a parish group with a cover letter indicating the parish name, the name of the confirmation coordinator, and the date of confirmation.

Meeting with the ArchbishopTo further his connection with the young church, the archbishop wants to spend time with the candidates and their sponsors before the celebration of the Mass.

The host parish should determine a location large enough for the candidates and their sponsors to gather for the meeting with the archbishop. Candidates and sponsors should be instructed to gather in this space no later than 1 hour prior to the start of Mass. The archbishop will meet with them for approximately 40 minutes. Several adults should be identified to quiet the crowd and remain with them during their time with the archbishop.

When the archbishop has concluded his time with the candidates and sponsors, the adult coordinators should line up the candidates and sponsors to make their way to the church in an orderly and prayerful manner. They should go immediately to their seats.

Parents and guests should come directly to the church upon their arrival.

Photos with the Archbishop/CelebrantArchbishop Thompson will be available for photos after Mass.

Special NeedsAccessibility

It is highly recommended the host parish notify the other parishes of ramps, parking and seating for those with physical disabilities. Guest parishes should notify the host parish of any special needs.

Food allergies Parish coordinators should ask their candidates and families if they know of anyone

with a food allergy that will be attending Mass Arrangements should be made so that the parish coordinator or the person(s) provide

the host parish with low gluten hosts, approved by the USCCB A pyx with the host should be placed on the altar for the Liturgy of the Eucharist

Photography During Mass In the best interest of promoting good worship:

o No flash photography or videography with lights is permitted during the liturgy.o Photographers and videographers are not permitted to stand in the center aisleo Photographers and videographers should be advised not to interrupt the flow of the

liturgy or distract other participants.

ReceptionsIt is the choice of the parish(es) to have a reception.

Preparing a Worship Aid A worship aid is necessary, containing the texts for the Mass and music needed by the assembly. Please print enough worship aids for the entire assembly. You may use the equation of seven (6) guests per candidate (including the sponsor). It is always better to have too many than not enough.

Nametags for candidatesParishes must provide nametags for the candidates. Name tags must be worn on the candidate’s right side. It is best to distribute the name tags as the candidates gather for their meeting with the archbishop.

Contact sheet Parishes celebrating in a cluster are encouraged to be in contact as soon as possible. One person should be chosen as the overall contact person for the planning. This person will be responsible for communicating with the Office of Worship about details of the Mass. A coordinator of music should also be chosen. Once the above two people are chosen the contact sheet should be completed and returned to the Office of Worship immediately.

Items Needed for the Liturgy The following items should be prepared accordingly:

On the credence table:o lemon juice (for cleansing the hands after anointing) o three hand towels o pitcher o basin o cruet filled with water o chalice o corporal o purificator o Roman Missalo additional plates o cups, pre-pouredo purificators for communion

Selection of Readings and Proper Prayers in 2019 When allowed in the liturgical calendar, the parishes celebrating the Sacrament of

Confirmation in 20198 will use a standard set of readings from the Ritual Mass – For the Conferral of Confirmation. There are 4 exceptions in the spring of 2019.

April 23 The Octave of Easter Lectionary #262April 24 The Octave of Easter Lectionary #263May 12 4th Sunday of Easter Lectionary #51June 2 Ascension 58

The proper prayers for the Mass of the day will be used on the above dates. The vestment color is white on the above dates.

All other celebrations will use the standard set of readings found below.

First Reading: Lectionary # 764.5 Joel 2:23, 26-27; 3:1-3

A reading from the book of the prophet Joel

Children of Zion, exult and rejoice in the LORD, your God! You shall eat and be filled, and shall praise the name of the LORD, your God, because he has dealt wondrously with you; my people shall nevermore be put to shame. And you shall know that I am in the midst of Israel; I am the LORD, your God, and there is no other; my people shall nevermore be put to shame. Then afterward I will pour out my spirit upon all humankind. Your sons and daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions; even upon the servants and the handmaids, in those days, I will pour out my spirit. And I will work wonders in the heavens.

The word of the Lord.

9

Second Reading: Lectionary #765:12 Ephesians 4:1-6

A reading from the letter of Saint Paul to the Ephesians

I, Paul, a prisoner for the Lord, urge you to live in a manner worthy of the call you have received, with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another through love, striving to preserve the unity of the spirit through the bond of peace: one body and one Spirit, as you were also called to the one hope of your call; one Lord, one faith, one baptism; one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all.

The word of the Lord.

Gospel: Lectionary #767:7 Luke 10:21-24

A reading from the holy Gospel according to Luke

Jesus rejoiced in the Holy Spirit and said, "I give you praise, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, for although you have hidden these things from the wise and the learned you have revealed them to the childlike. Yes, Father, such has been your gracious will. All things have been handed over to me by my Father. No one knows who the Son is except the Father, and who the Father is except the Son and anyone to whom the Son wishes to reveal him." Turning to the disciples in private he said, "Blessed are the eyes that see what you see. For I say to you, many prophets and kings desired to see what you see, but did not see it, and to hear what you hear, but did not hear it."

The Gospel of the Lord.

Proper prayers will also be taken from the Ritual Mass. The vestment color is red.

The vestment color is green on the above dates.

Vesture Concelebrating priest(s) should be bring his own alb, chasuble and stole. Deacons should bring an alb, dalmatic and stole.

CHAPTER 3 MUSIC FOR CONFIRMATION

It is very important that the whole assembly be able to join in the singing of the responsorial psalm response, the Gospel Acclamation, Sanctus, Memorial Acclamation, and the Great Amen.

When choosing other music, the texts should generally reflect the readings chosen and the coming of the Holy Spirit. Since Confirmation is closely related to the other sacraments of initiation, texts that are based on the broader themes of Baptism, Eucharist, Resurrection, and the Holy Trinity are possible. Songs with themes of commitment, service, discipleship, and mission are also appropriate.

When Confirmation is celebrated on a day in the Octave of Easter, a Sunday of Easter or on the Ascension, the music chosen should also be in harmony with the readings of the day and the spirit of the particular season.

The cantor may conduct a brief period of musical preparation with the assembly before Mass, especially if a considerable number of people are unfamiliar with the music to be used for these sung parts.

Opening SongThe opening song chosen should also be in harmony with the readings of the day and the spirit of the particular season.

GloriaThe Roman Missal now calls for the singing of the Gloria whenever the Ritual Mass for the Conferral of Confirmation is used, even if the celebration takes place on a weekday during Advent or Lent. Even though it permissible for a choir to sing the Gloria alone, it is preferable to use a setting with an easy refrain for the congregation such as the Storrington Mass. The Chant Mass is also a possibility if most of the participating parishes are familiar with it.

Responsorial Psalm For Sunday or Feast Day celebrations, the proper psalm or an appropriate seasonal substitute should be used. At other times, Psalm 104 (Lord, Send Out Your Spirit) recommended.

Gospel Acclamation Use a familiar alleluia or the Storrington Mass acclamation with cantor or choir singing the verse.

Renewal of Baptismal PromisesThere is no sprinkling or singing of an acclamation after the renewal.

Anointing Depending on the number to be anointed, the music during this time could include choral music as well as a song with a refrain for the assembly. We estimate that it takes 10 seconds per candidate for the anointing. The music during this time should be performed

11

at a moderate level of volume so as not to hinder the verbal communication between the archbishop, sponsor, and the one being confirmed.

OffertoryIf there has been a good amount of singing during the anointing, it might be preferable to use instrumental music at this time. Choral music is also possible.

Eucharistic Prayer Acclamations Please use either the Storrington or the Roman Missal Chant settings for the Sanctus, Memorial Acclamation, and Great Amen. The memorial acclamation may be sung twice. Both words and music should be included in the worship aid.

Communion Song The assembly should be invited to sing the refrain with the cantor or the choir singing the verses. If possible, a single song should be planned to accompany most of the communion procession, lengthened as needed by the use of instrumental interludes. A brief choral or instrumental piece may be added near the end of communion, but it should conclude shortly after the bishop has been seated and the altar has been cleared. Because of the length of the Mass with the Confirmation Rite, the addition of a SONG AFTER COMMUNION is not recommended.

Suggested Music Entrance Antiphon (Processional Hymn)

Come, Holy Ghost

Gloria Storrington Mass

Responsorial Psalm A setting of Psalm 104 (Lord, Send Out Your Spirit) The Psalm MUST use the words put forth in the Lectionary.

o Psalm may be different on a feast.

Music during Anointing A choral, instrumental, or a solo piece. It will take 2–3 pieces of music to cover the anointing rite. (10 seconds per

candidate) Do not discount instrumental music at this time. It is not necessary that it be sung. Suggested: alternating verses of Veni, Creator Spiritus with instrumental settings of

the same.

Offertory A choral, instrumental, solo, or congregational. Suggested: One Spirit, One Church

Mass Ordinary 12

Storrington Mass. Any of the Storrington Mystery of Faith settings are fine

Communion Should be a piece with at least a refrain that can be sung without a worship aid. Be

sure the number of communicants is considered for length. Suggested: a setting of the Communion Antiphon (6th Sunday of Easter, Year A)

Recessional Hymn Church of God, Elect and Glorious (HYMN TO JOY)
