            LEARNING ABOUT THE MASS WITH KATH AND QUMEN

 
WHO DOES WHAT AT MASS (2)?

At every Mass you will notice that some members of the assembly have different jobs. We call these jobs ‘ministries’.    Let’s look at some more of them:

 THE COLLECTORS: The people who collect our gift of money during Mass.

 THE MINISTER OF THE EUCHARIST: The person who helps to give out communion at Mass. They sometimes bring communion to those who are unable to come to Mass because they are sick.

 MUSIC: Many parishes have choirs – groups of people who sing at Mass. Their singing helps the whole assembly to pray and we are all encouraged to join with the choir.   Some parishes may have people who lead the assembly in singing.   These are called cantors.

 

Extract 4— The Joy of Love—Pope Francis

“There is also a general feeling of powerlessness in the face of socio cultural realities that oftentimes end up crushing families...Families often feel

abandoned due to lack of interest and attention on the part of the institutions. The negative impact

on the social order is clear, as seen in the

demographic crisis, in the difficulty of raising

children, in a hesitancy to welcome new life, in a tendency to see older persons as a burden and in

an increase of emotional problems and outbreaks of violence. The state has the responsibility to pass laws and create work to ensure the future of young people and help them realise their plan of forming families”

                 Chapter 2 p.43

LEARNING ABOUT THE MASS WITH KATH AND QUMEN

 

WHO DOES WHAT AT MASS ?

At every Mass you will notice that some members of the assembly have different jobs. We call these jobs ‘ministries’. Let’s look at some of them:

THE PRIEST: At Mass the priest leads us and encourages us to play our part in the celebration. How does he do this? He:

ä Leads us in prayer

ä Invites us to listen to God’s word

ä Helps us understand & make sense of the Word of God in our daily lives through his homily

ä Takes our gifts, the bread and wine, offers them to God and prays that by the power of the Holy Spirit they will become the body and blood of Jesus Christ.

THE SERVERS: Servers are normally boys and girls who have received their First Communion. Their job is to help the priest during Mass. They can carry books, bring water and wine, wash the priest’s hands and ring bells.

MINISTER OF THE WORD: Even though we sometimes call this person the reader, the proper name is ‘Minister of the Word’. The readings of Mass come from the Bible. They are the Word of God and so we can say that we hear God speaking to us through the voice of the Minister of the Word.

 

Extract 3

The Joy of Love - Pope Francis

“The weakening of faith and religious practice in some societies has an effect on families, leaving them more isolated amid their difficulties. The Synod     Fathers noted that “one symptom of great poverty of contemporary culture is loneliness, arising from the absence of God in a person’s life and the fragility of relationships”

Chapter 2 p.43
