When the prayer of the faithful is finished, the ushers will begin to take up the collection. This is your signal to prepare the Altar.

• Lay the corporal, correct side up (look for the cross) in the center of the Altar. You can use the front doors to assist you with lining up in the center. The Corporal should be even with the front edge of the Altar.

• Place the Chalice with the Purifcator on top, on the left side of the corporal.

• Take the Roman Missal from the Priest’s side table and place it on the left of the corporal on the Altar.

Once the Altar is set, the Altar Servers may return to their seats.
