General Guidelines:

• • Servers are limited to 3 maximum.

  • Face masks must be worn at all times.

  • Properly wash hands in the sacristy before and after Mass.

  • Use hand sanitizer before handling vessels (chalice, ciborium, etc.).

  • After Mass, clean the processional cross and candlesticks.

Assignments:

• • For now, automatic assignments will NOT be set up through the scheduling site. I hope in Q1 2021 we can get the schedules set up as in the past.

  • Servers wishing to serve will simply sign-in on the posted sheet on the alb closet door.

Mass Procedures:

• • Each server will sit in their respective places as in the past.

  • Book will not handle the Roman Missal, it will already be placed on the altar.

  • There will be no offertory procession for the foreseeable future.

  • The hosts and wine will be brought from the Credence Table to the Altar by the servers and presented to Father.

  • Chalice will set the altar unless directed otherwise.

  • All of the basic server procedures are in effect; the way we stand, the way we set the altar, the way we interact with Father is no different.

  • Refer to your training booklet to refresh your memory.
