_005457247	Herbst, Winfrid, 1891-1988.	Bits of information for sacristans	1946		.txt	text/plain	7593	289	68	We here pass on the following succinct in- formation: , 20 at least for Forty Hours Exposition; 12 at least for Benediction of the Blessed 10 - Sacrament with monstrance, unless a poor parish has obtained special permission from the bishop for six; 6 for private Benediction with ciborium; 6 for Solemn Mass on Sundays and feast days; 4 will suffice for Solemn Mass on other days; 2 will suffice for Solemn Mass on simple feasts or lesser ferias, but one may and generally does light six for any kind of a Solemn Mass; 4 at least for High Mass, whether for the living or the dead, but ordinarily six are lighted; 2 for a Low Mass which is strictly private and said by any priest of lesser rank than a bishop; 2 or more for a Mass as just above if it is the conventual or parochial Mass on Sundays and holydays of obligation or if the oc- casion calls for more than usual solemnity; 4 or more for the Low Mass of a bishop not only on greater feasts but also on ferial days, though two will suffice; 7 when the bishop pontificates in his own diocese at a Solemn non-Requiem Mass, and even at a Low Mass when he publicly ordains; 2 or more for marriages, blessings, distri- bution of Holy Communion outside of Mass, and for non-liturgical prayers and devotions, provided these services are cele- brated at the altar. Blessed altar cloths such as you speak of may not be used for non-sacred purposes like those mentioned in your question but should either be used for other church purposes or be burnt and the ashes put into the sacrarium (Wapelhorst).	cache/_005457247.txt	txt/_005457247.txt
