Incense used at Mass with its sweet-smelling perfume and high-ascending smoke, is typical of a good Christian prayer, which enkindled in the heart by the fire of God's love and exhaling the odour of Christ, rises up a pleasing offering. (from the Catholic Encyclopedia)
Please remember the Orans Prayer Posture, that is praying with ones hands held out in a "sign of surrender" during the Lord's Prayer during Mass. During Eucharistic Liturgies, we remain standing after the Lamb of God until the entire assembly has received Communion. When receiving Communion we bow our head before receiving the Bread and we bow our head before receiving Communion from the cup.
If you would like to add someone's name to the prayer list that is read at Sunday Masses and printed in the bulletin, the following directions are provided. Read on
If you have a hard time hearing at Mass, personal hearing aid (PA Devices that work in our chuch) are available for anyone to use during Mass. Please see a member of the music ministry to sign out the equipment. Read on for details...
