CHALICE FOR VOCATIONS
 Starting March
11, Council 10668 began a "Chalice for Vocations Program".
One brother Knight will take Father Bernard Nienhaus's ordination
chalice for a week and say the Vocation Prayer over it as
a family daily at the dinner meal. He will then pass the chalice
and prayer to the next Knight in line for the following week.
Vocation
Prayer:
Priest: Let us ask God to give many priests, brothers and
sisters to His Holy Church. All: Oh God, we earnestly beseech You to bless this
diocese with many priests, brothers and sisters who will love You with their
whole strength and gladly spend their entire lives to serve Your Church and to
make You known and loved. Priest: Bless our families, bless our children. All:
Choose from our homes those who are needed for Your work. Priest: Mary Queen
for the Clergy to Queen of the Clergy. All: Pray for us. Pray for our priests
and religious. This we ask through Christ Our Lord. Amen.
To
participate please call or fill in our on-line reply
form.
KNIGHTS PROCEDURE FOR THE EXCHANGE
OF
THE VOCATIONS CHALICE AT MASS
- The Knight that has the Chalice will contact the
next person to receive the Chalice and arrange a convenient Mass time for the
exchange. The list is available on the Council web site, kochhi.org
- Both Knights should meet in Narthex about 10 minutes
early and tell the Priest or Deacon about the Vocations
Chalice exchange. Give either a copy of the vocations
prayer. Also, make sure the small table is at the St.
Joseph's altar on the left before Mass begins
- During the offertory collections, both Knights
move to the rear, and prepare to walk up giver and receiver each holding one
side of the Chalice box following the presenters of the gifts
- After Father receives the gifts, all bow, and both
Knights place the Chalice box on the small table at Mary's
altar, open the box door to reveal the Chalice, and return
to their seats via the piano aisle
- Just prior to the final Blessing, the Knight
receiving the Chalice should proceed to the Chalice, and close the door. The
priest may or may not read the prayer. In either event, after the blessing, and
after Father walks down the steps, proceed with the Chalice box and stand
directly in front of the altar servers and follow them exiting the church
- Remain in the Narthex and answer any questions
that parishioners might have about the program
