Nine Eucharistic Processions at Annunciation
Nine Eucharistic Processions at Annunciation
Nine Eucharistic Processions at Annunciation
In celebration of the Archdiocesan Priority and the Jubilee Year, the Stewardship & Prayer Committee has organized Nine Eucharistic Processions around the church property, occurring on the first Saturday of each month. This year, the Archdiocesan priority is Worship. The committee has planned these processions to foster greater engagement in this initiative. We appreciate your full cooperation and support in making this a meaningful experience.
Archdiocesan Pastoral Priorities
Worship, Witness, and Service – these are the foundational pillars for our diocese, as identified by Archbishop Richard Smith in his pastoral letter Living in the Word.
1. Formation for Eucharistic Worship – Helping people know and understand the Liturgy according to the mind of the Church and better enter into it.
2. Formation for Confident Witness – Helping people grow in prayer and in their relationship with God and each other.
3. Formation for Service to Marriage and Family – Helping families return to the Church and grow in their practice of the Faith.
The first Eucharistic Procession will take place on Saturday, March 15, 2025 after the 5:00 PM Mass.

Prayer after Communion (Concluding Rites is omitted): After the Communion Prayer (said after distribution of Holy Communion), the priest will go to the tabernacle to bring the Blessed Sacrament.
Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament (Choir): The Blessed Sacrament will be exposed (in the monstrance). Once Father places the Blessed Sacrament in the monstrance, the Choir can begin singing O saving Victim (CBW 689 - two verses).
Commencement of procession: Upon the direction of Father, the Crossbearer will start to process out of the church followed by parishioners seated in the first row pews across all aisles (4 pews), then parishioners seated in the second, third and so on.
Altar Servers, Priest to join in: After the parishioners from the last pew have joined the procession, The Candle bearers, Thurifers and boat-bearer, and priest carrying the monstrance will follow.
The Choir: The Choir will follow after the priest. Choir can sing a Marian hymn (Immaculate Mary, etc.). There might be the recitation of the Holy Rosary during the procession and so a hymn can be sung after each decade (presumably).
Return into the church: Upon returning to the church, the Crossbearer will proceed to the altar while parishioners will go back to their respective places and remain kneeling.
Altar Servers, Priest: The Altar Servers and priest will proceed towards the altar. The priest carrying the monstrance will place it on the altar.
The Choir: The Choir will proceed to the choir area.
BENEDICTION (Choir to sing): Father will gesture/nod to the Choir indicating to start singing Down in adoration (CBW 68 - two verses, same tune as Pange lingua, gloriosi)
The Divine Praises: The priest will recite the Divine Praises (Blessed be God, Blessed be His Holy Name...)
Concluding Rites: Solemn Eucharistic Benediction is given as the final blessing.
The Choir: Father will gesture/nod to the Choir indicating to start singing Holy God, We Praise Thy Name (CBW 555 - two verses).
Reposition: While the concluding hymn is being sung, the priest replaces the Blessed Sacrament in the tabernacle and genuflects. The altar servers and priest process back to the sacristy.

Groups such as the Knights of Columbus Honor Guard, the Knights of the Holy Sepulchre, the Knights of

directly behind him.
Sequence of Events
Based on the proper liturgical books, the following is a standard sequence of events for a Eucharistic Procession.
o The procession begins after Mass or after a lengthy period of public adoration. If the procession occurs after Mass, the Host to be carried in the procession should be consecrated at this Mass.
o After the Communion of the faithful, the monstrance is placed on the altar and the consecrated Host is placed in the monstrance.
o Those who have particular roles in the procession (those carrying the canopy, banners, biers, etc.; those leading groups of the faithful; altar servers; etc.) should be arranging themselves for the beginning of the procession insofar as that does not interfere with the conclusion of Mass.
o The celebrant says the Prayer after Communion but omits the Concluding Rites.
o Wearing a cope (or chasuble), the celebrant kneels before the altar and incenses the Blessed Sacrament.
o Putting on the humeral veil, the celebrant goes up to the altar, genuflects and takes the monstrance, holding it with hands covered by the veil.
o The procession forms with the crossbearer leading the Blessed Sacrament to the canopy. Be prepared to wait as groups gather in the appropriate order.
o Processing along the planned route, the choir leads the faithful in songs and prayers worshiping Christ in the Eucharist and expressing faith in the Real Presence of the Blessed Sacrament.
o If stations have been set up, the procession stops at each one along the route. Placing the monstrance on the altar, the celebrant kneels before the Blessed Sacrament and leads the faithful in prayers, a reading from the Gospels, and/or a brief period of silent adoration. Then, Eucharistic Benediction is given before the procession continues. Benediction at the station altars is not “Solemn Benediction” and the typical prayers at Benediction are omitted.
o At the end of the procession, Solemn Eucharistic Benediction is given as the final blessing. After Benediction, the Blessed Sacrament is removed from the monstrance and placed in the tabernacle.

Prayer for RCIA catechumen
Blessed Trinity of Love...
we ask your blessing and protection over LIAM, as he enters the home stretch of his journey into full communion with your Holy Catholic Church. May the seeds you have sown in this journey of faith continue to bear fruit throughout his life, especially through Scripture and the Sacraments. Please send Your holy angels to guide him, that he may always grow in faith, hope, and charity through love of God and neighbour.
We ask these prayers through the intercession of Our Lady of the Annunciation. Amen.
Parishioners, please pray this prayer daily for our RCIA catechumen who is being baptized and confirmed at Easter. Then sign the back, include a personal message (should you wish), and return it on Palm Sunday.
Catechumens and Candidates
Catechumens and Candidates
In the context of the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA), a catechumen is an unbaptized person preparing for baptism, while a candidate is a baptized Christian seeking full communion within the Catholic Church.
Here's a more detailed explanation:
Catechumen:
An unbaptized person who is receiving instruction in the principles of the Christian religion with the goal of being baptized.
The term "catechumen" comes from Greek, meaning "one in whom word echoes".
They are preparing for full initiation at the Easter Vigil.
Candidate:
A baptized Christian (in another Christian denomination) who is seeking to enter into full communion with the Catholic Church.
They usually have a basic understanding of the Christian faith and are learning the specifics of the Catholic Church.
They are also referred to as "candidates for full communion".
RCIA:
The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults is the process by which unbaptized adults and baptized Christians who are not yet Catholic become full members of the Catholic Church.
Both catechumens and candidates participate in the RCIA program.
The program involves a period of instruction, formation, and spiritual growth, culminating in the celebration of the sacraments of initiation (Baptism, Confirmation, and Eucharist) at the Easter Vigil.
Key Terms:
Catechumenate: The period of time and the structure within which the catechumens prepare for initiation.
Mystagogy: The 50 days from Easter to Pentecost, a time for deepening understanding of the sacraments and living out the faith.
Elect: Catechumens who have been chosen to receive the sacraments of initiation at the Easter Vigil.
In summary:
Catechumens are individuals who are not baptized and who are probably learning for the first time many of the elements of the Christian faith. Candidates, on the other hand, are those who are already Christians by baptism and are seeking to enter into full communion with the Catholic Church.

1. O merciful Redeemer, hear; In pity now incline thine ear; Accept the contrite prayers we raise in this, our lent of forty days.
2. Our hearts are open, Lord, to thee, And knowing our iniquity, Pour out on us thy healing grace, Restore to life a fallen race.
3. Our sins are great, our will are weak, But thy forgiveness, Lord, we seek, and for the glory of thy name Do thou our wounded souls reclaim.

O Christ, the Healer CBW 354 / JS 577
Words By Fred Pratt Green
O Christ, the healer, we have come
to pray for health, to plead for friends.
How can we fail to be restored
when reached by love that never ends?
From every ailment flesh endures
our bodies clamor to be freed;
yet in our hearts we would confess
that wholeness is our deepest need.
How strong, O Lord, are our desires,
how weak our knowledge of ourselves!
Release in us those healing truths
unconscious pride resists or shelves.
In conflicts that destroy our health
we recognize the world's disease;
our common life declares our ills.
Is there no cure, O Christ, for these?
Grant that we all, made one in faith,
in your community may find
the wholeness that, enriching us,
shall reach the whole of humankind.

Bread of Life - Bobby Fisher
1. Bread of Life and cup of hope, we come as gift to you. Change our hearts; fill us with
peace. Transform our lives anew. Open our eyes so that we may see your presence in one another. Your
life, poured out in love today, unites us all in you.
2. Loving Lord, Creator God, open our eyes to see the good that lives in each of us, that called the world to
be. And when we fail to see the good, when friendships falter and crumble, give us the courage to forgive
that we may live in peace.
3. Living Word, O Son of God, your love shows us the way, that we may live in harmony, and from you never
stray. Wipe all oppression from our midst; give us a love for all people. Your song of justice sing in us, to
live for peace today. (Copyright c 1994, Bobby Fisher and OCP)
O Lord I Am Not Worthy by Robert Kochis
O Lord, I am not worthy
That Thou should'st come to me,
But speak the words of comfort,
My spirit healed shall be.
And humbly I receive Thee,
the bridegroom of my soul,
No more my sin to grieve Thee,
nor fly Thy sweet control.
O Eternal Holy Spirit,
Unworthy tho' I be,
Prepare me to receive Him,
And trust the Word to me.
Increase my faith, dear Jesus,
in Thy Real Presence here;
and make me feel most deeply
that Thou to me art near.
O Sacrament most holy,
O Sacrament divine!
All praise and all thanksgiving
Be ev'ry moment Thine.

1. God of mercy and compassion,
Look with pity upon me,
Father, let me call Thee Father,
'Tis Thy child returns to Thee.
Refrain:
Jesus, Lord, I ask for mercy;
Let me not implore in vain;
All my sins, I now detest them,
Never will I sin again.
2. By my sins I have deserved
Death and endless misery,
Hell with all its pains and torments,
And for all eternity.

Right and claim to heav'n above.

In a boundless sea of love.

To that cross my sins have nail'd Him,
Yet He bleeds and dies for me.

A sweeter sound than your blest name,

O Joy of all the meek,
How kind you are to those who fall!
How good to those who seek!

""Come, share my home above.""

Showered from our God above!
