Celebrant of the MassArchbishop Thompson will be the celebrant at all Masses at the Cathedral.

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

4

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, 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 note 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 must 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 should 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, or faxed, to the Office of Worship. They may also be addressed to the attention of Christina Tuley and left at the front desk of the Catholic Center. 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, since many times the archbishop is preparing for multiple celebrations in the same week.

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. Candidates and sponsors should come to the Catholic Center and gather in the Assembly Hall no later than 6:00 pm. The archbishop will meet with them for approximately 50 minutes. Several adults should be present 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 across to the Cathedral in an orderly and prayerful manner. They should go immediately to their seats. To ensure safety please use the crosswalk symbols.

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

Photos with the ArchbishopArchbishop Thompson will be available for photos after Mass.

Special NeedsAccessibilityThere is an elevator entrance between the rectory and the north, side door of the Cathedral. Please notify the Office of Worship of candidates and/or sponsors unable to ascend the steps to the sanctuary.

Food allergiesPlease notify the Office of Worship if anyone is has restrictions in receiving the Body of the Lord. Low gluten hosts, approved by the USCCB, can be made available in a pyx. Prior to the Mass the person needing the low-gluten host should be introduced to the master of ceremonies.

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.

ReceptionsParishes interested in hosting a reception at the Catholic Center, must contact the Office of Worship at least three weeks prior to the Mass to check on the availability of the Assembly Hall.

Worship Aid The Office of Worship will prepare and print the worship aid. If you would like the names of your candidates included in the worship aid, please email them to Christina Tuley in a word document in list form. The names should be sent along with the other planning materials by your due date.

Nametags for candidatesParishes must provide nametags for the candidates. Name tags must be worn on the candidate’s right side.

Nametags must be distributed in the assembly hall as candidates arrive. Certificates, tokens, etc., should also be distributed at this time.

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. This person will be responsible for choosing music, working with a cantor, and communicating with Andrew Motyka. If parishes are unable to provide music leadership, Andrew Motyka should be contacted immediately.

Once the above two people are chosen the contact sheet should be completed and returned to the Office of Worship immediately.

Standard Readings for 2020

First Reading: Lectionary# 765.1: Acts 1:3-8

A reading from the Acts of the Apostles

Jesus showed the Apostles that he was alive by many proofs after he had suffered, appearing to them during forty days and speaking about the Kingdom of God. While meeting with them, he enjoined them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for "the promise of the Father about which you have heard me speak; for John baptized with water, but in a few days you will be

8

baptized with the Holy Spirit." When they had gathered together they asked him, "Lord, are you at this time going to restore the kingdom to Israel?" He answered them, "It is not for you to know the times or seasons that the Father has established by his own authority. But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem,throughout Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth."

The word of the Lord.

Second Reading: Lectionary #765:8: Romans 8:26-27

A reading from the letter of Saint Paul to the Romans

Brothers and sisters: The Spirit comes to the aid of our weakness; for we do not know how to pray as we ought, but the Spirit himself intercedes with inexpressible groanings. And the one who searches hearts knows what is the intention of the Spirit, because it intercedes for the holy ones according to God's will.

The word of the Lord.

Gospel: Lectionary #768:9: John 14:15-17

A reading from the holy Gospel according to John

Jesus said to his disciples: "If you love me, you will keep my commandments. And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Advocate to be with you always, the Spirit of truth, which the world cannot accept, because it neither sees nor knows it. But you know it, because it remains with you, and will be in you.

The Gospel of the Lord.

CHAPTER 3 MUSIC FOR CONFIRMATION

To promote consistent quality of both musical selections and leadership at liturgies at the Cathedral, Andrew Motyka will assist in planning music for the Mass and serving as a musician during the Confirmation Mass.

Choice of MusicAll Confirmation Masses at the Cathedral will have a set of music that is sung. This does not cover every musical moment of the Mass, but most will be standardized. There will be some room for musical choices by the individual parishes involved. Music selections should be included on Form B.

The scores for the standard set of music can be found at http://www.archindy.org/worship/music.html

Music during AnointingWhile there is a suggested piece for music during anointing, any appropriate instrumental, choral, congregational, or combination of such, can be used at this time. Please note that anointing typically takes 9-10 seconds per candidate, so please time your selections accordingly.

Bilingual MassesIt is understood that Masses which incorporate Spanish have different musical needs. Please contact Andrew Motyka to work out musical selections for these Masses.

MusiciansCelebrating parishes are encouraged to bring their own cantors, choirs, and other musicians to celebrate Mass at the Cathedral. If this is not possible, or if it is simpler to not bring an outside group, the Office of Worship will have musicians available to play and/or sing for these Masses. Each Mass must, at a bare minimum, have one instrumentalist and a separate cantor. Choice of musicians should be submitted to the Office of Worship no later than 3 weeks before the Confirmation date.

Available Musical ResourcesWhen planning music for the liturgy, please know that the following resources are available at the Cathedral:

The Cathedral organ. A grand piano in the sanctuary which already has a mic on the sound board. Separate microphones at the cantor stand and ambo. 2 choir microphones that can amplify a group of up to 30 or so. 4 individual microphones with stands that can be connected to an auxiliary

soundboard for mics and amplified instruments. 16 music stands.

For their parents and sponsors: that by word and example they may continue to encourage those whom they have sponsored in the faith to follow in the footsteps of Christ, let us pray to the Lord.

For the holy Church of God, together with Francis our pope, Charles our Bishop, and all the Bishops; that, gathered by the Holy Spirit, the Church may grow and increase in unity of faith and love until the coming of the Lord, let us pray to the Lord.

For the whole world: that all people, who have one Maker and Father, may acknowledge one another as brothers and sisters, without discrimination of race or nation, and with sincere hearts seek the Kingdom of God, which is peace and joy in the Holy Spirit, let us pray to the Lord.
