DEDICATION OF ALTAR AT ST ANNE’S – TWO WEEKS TODAY

The Dedication within the 10.30am Mass will begin with the blessing of the baptismal font, followed by the renewal of our baptismal vows; then the blessing of the presider’s chair; the blessing of the ambo, the Table of the Word. The readings will be specific for this occasion. After the homily, we will pray the Litany of the Saints, then the relics of some saints will be installed in the altar; our relics are Bishop St Francis de Sales, the widow St Jane Frances de Chantal and the nun St Margaret Mary Alacoque.
Then follows the spectacular ceremony of anointing and incensation of the altar. Then the Liturgy of the Eucharist commences with the Procession of gifts. After Holy Communion is distributed the Chapel of the Blessed Sacrament will be inaugurated. Please all bring a plate of finger food to share for a light lunch together in the Parish Centre at 12 noon.
