Dear friends,
In presenting the teaching Mass on October 18, at the 5pm
Mass I included this information:
The Mass follows a “fundamental structure which has been
preserved throughout the centuries down to our own
day” (Catechism of the Catholic Church, no. 1346). Though
the Mass is one unified act of worship, it consists of many
parts, each with its own purpose and meaning.
Introductory Rites: “The rites that precede the Liturgy of
the Word, namely, the Entrance, the Greeting, the
Penitential Act, the Kyrie, the Gloria in excelsis (Glory to
God in the highest) and Collect, have the character of a
beginning, an introduction, and a preparation. Their
purpose is to ensure that the faithful, who come together as
one, establish communion and dispose themselves
properly to listen to the word of God and to celebrate the
Eucharist worthily”
(General Instruction of the Roman Missal [GIRM], no. 46).
Collect: “The opening prayer . . . through which the
character of the celebration finds expression” (GIRM, no.
54). This prayer literally “collects” the prayers of all who are
gathered into one prayer led by the priest celebrant.
Liturgy of the Word: “The main part of the Liturgy of the
Word is made up of the readings from Sacred Scripture
together with the chants occurring between them. As for
the Homily, the Profession of Faith, and the Universal
Prayer, they develop and conclude it” (GIRM, no. 55).
Creed: A brief, normative summary statement or
profession of Christian faith. The Nicene Creed, which is
recited at Mass, comes from the Councils of Nicea (AD
325) and Constantinople (AD 381).
Canon of the Mass: The central part of the Mass, also
known as the Eucharistic Prayer, which is the prayer of
thanksgiving and consecration. It begins with the Preface
Dialogue (i.e., “The Lord be with you. . . . Lift up your hearts.
. . . Let us give thanks to the Lord our God”) and concludes
with a final Doxology (“through him, and with him, and in
him”) and Amen.
Epiclesis: The prayer petitioning the Father to send the
Holy Spirit to sanctify offerings of bread and wine so that
they may become the Body and Blood of Christ.
Consecration: The consecration is that part of the
Eucharistic Prayer during which the priest prays the Lord’s
words of institution of the Eucharist at the Last Supper.
Through this prayer the bread and wine become the risen
Body and Blood of Jesus.
November 8, 2015
Anamnesis: From the Greek, meaning “remembrance.”
We remember Jesus’ historical saving deeds in the
liturgical action of the Church, which inspires thanksgiving
and praise. Every Eucharistic Prayer contains an
anamnesis or memorial in which the Church calls to mind
the Passion, Resurrection, and glorious return of Christ
Jesus.
Doxology: A Christian prayer that gives praise and glory to
God often in a special way to the three divine Persons of
the Trinity. Liturgical prayers, including the Eucharistic
Prayer, traditionally conclude with the Doxology “to the
Father, through the Son, in the Holy Spirit.”
Communion Rite: The preparatory rites, consisting of the
Lord’s Prayer, the Rite of Peace, and the Fraction, lead the
faithful to Holy Communion (see GIRM, no. 80). The
Prayer after Communion expresses the Church’s gratitude
for the mysteries celebrated and received.
Rite of Peace: The rite “by which the Church entreats
peace and unity for herself and for the whole human family,
and the faithful express to each other their ecclesial
communion and mutual charity before communicating in
the Sacrament” (GIRM, no. 82).
Fraction: “The Priest breaks the Eucharistic Bread. . . .
the gesture of breaking bread done by Christ at the Last
Supper . . . in apostolic times gave the entire Eucharistic
Action its name” (GIRM, no. 83).
Communion: Holy Communion, the reception of the Body
and Blood of Christ in the Eucharist. Jesus really present;
body, soul, and divinity!
Concluding Rites: “To the Concluding Rites belong the
following: brief announcements . . . ; the Priest’s Greeting
and Blessing . . . ; the Dismissal of the people by the
Deacon or the Priest, so that each may go back to doing
good works, praising and blessing God; the kissing of the
altar by the Priest and the Deacon, followed by a profound
bow to the altar by the Priest, the Deacon, and the other
ministers” (GIRM, no. 90). (Gratis permission is hereby granted

I know that by our understanding better the meaning of the
different parts of the Mass, we will appreciate more the
liturgy (the work of the church) we do together on Sundays.
We will talk more about the Sunday Mass next bulletin
issue.
Peace,
Fr. Riz

November 14th, 2015 marks the 19th annual “Celebrating Young Adults in Ministry,” an event which recognizes the contributions that
young adults make to the life of our local faith communities. This year our parish has chosen to honor Jomarie Marquez,
Sarah Miller, Monique Tapia, and Lilia C. Trevino-Gonzalez. The “Celebrating Young Adults in Ministry” Recognition Mass
is scheduled for Saturday, November 14th, 2015 at the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels in Los Angeles. The celebration begins
promptly at 5:30pm. Archbishop José H. Gomez will preside at the Eucharistic Celebration. All are welcome to attend.
Each quarter, 1650 sets of offering envelopes are sent out to individuals and families at St. Peter Claver.
Of that 1650, approximately 577 families are using their envelopes during the month. It costs $1900 per quarter for the shipping
and printing of these envelopes. In an effort to reduce expenses, we would like to confirm those who wish to continue receiving
them. We will be on the Plaza after all Masses on the weekends of November 14th/15th and 21st/22nd with your offering
envelopes for the next quarter. Please stop by the tables and pick up your envelopes if you wish to continue receiving them,
or let us know if you no longer want to receive them. Likewise, if you do not currently receive envelopes and would like to,
you may let us know at that time.

A group from the Holy Land (Bethlehem and Jerusalem) will be selling religious articles after Masses next weekend,
November 14th/15th, to support Catholic Christian minorities in Bethlehem. As a tradition, many of the Catholic families in the Holy
Land work in small workshops to produce religious articles from olive wood. These articles represent the Christian art of the Holy
Land. In the past, they used to sell their artwork to pilgrims who visit the Holy Land; however, these days they are facing an economic
hardship as very few tourists visit there due to security issues. Many of the Catholic families immigrated and left - the percentage of
Christians in the Holy Land has dropped to less than 2%. Therefore, if this hardship continues as it is now, we believe that in a few
years, there will be no Catholics in Bethlehem or Jerusalem. The struggle to preserve the Catholic identity of the birthplace of our
Savior, Jesus Christ, is a serious concern for Catholics around the world. Sales will be used to help and support the Catholics
in the Holy Land and encourage them not to immigrate.
It’s not too late to join the expanded St. Peter Claver children’s Christmas Eve Mass Choir!
Our choir will now include 1st – 12th grade - to increase the number of students who can participate – including those who have
wanted to be in the choir but became “too old” for it. Rehearsals are held Thursdays from 6-7pm in the church. PLEASE JOIN US in
making this another great year for the Children/Youth Combined Christmas Choir! ~Gregg and Teddi Cassity, co-directors
