RELAX.  SMILE.  Normally the priest helpful at the MASS. 
You will be fine.  If you forget something the priest will gently remind you.
Most of the work is SETTING-UP properly.
Below are some directions for serving, please look them over and let me know if you have other questions or concerns. 
-----------------
Here are some notes to help you serve Mass at the jail:

SETTING-UP properly.
- 1 - uncover & move the altar table to the center of the wall.
- 2 - From the cabinet get the two largest white cloths and place them on the altar (We use two cloths only because we do not have a big one).
    you may want to ask an inmate to help you put them on the altar, or do it yourself.
- 3 -  The Corporal is another white cloth.  Place, on top of the other two white cloths,  the Corporal right where the priest stands at the altar.  It is like a table "place mat" to catch any crumbs under the Eucharist.  Also, place two battery opperated candles on each front corner of the altar. 
- 4 - Place the SACRAMENTARY on the ALTAR!  (Father will mark the correct pages.)
- 5 - Now on a table off to the side of the altar near the wall near the cabinet place all of the items from the cabinet that you will need for the Mass: 
-              - hand towel, 
-              - clear plastic (square) bowl for washing hands,
-              - small cloth purificator for wiping off the cup,
-              - two glass cruits, 
-              - gold ciborium with the lid & 
-              - glass chalis.
- 6 - Bob Roleke, or the person doing TASK # 1 will have wine.  Put the wine into the glass cruit.  Take the other glass cruit out to the drinking fountain and fill it less than half with water.
- 7 - Place enough small hosts (about 15-20) in the ciborium & one of the larger hosts on top.
- 8 -       After you are all SET-UP then the MASS may begin.

SERVING During the Mass:
-----------------------------------------
- 9 - After the Gospel & homily is the Creed & General Intercessory Prayers, then the people sit down and you, the SERVER, go to the (credance table) side of the altar, pick up the - 
-              - gold ciborium withOUT the lid & hand it to the priest, or, place it on the ALTAR.
-10 - Next, immediatly go back to get the -
-              - glass chalis & the .
-              - small cloth purificator for wiping off the cup,
- 11 - Next, immediatly go back to get the -
-              - two glass cruits - one with wine, and, one with water.
              When you stand facing the priest the handles should be for him to take & then he will give them back to you.  And, then take and put the wine cruit back on the side table.
- 12 - Next, immediatly go back to get the -
-              - clear plastic (square) bowl for washing hands,
-              - hand towel, (put the towel over your arm if your hands are full.)
-              - And, KEEP the WATER cruit in your hand with the handle toward you this time.
- 13 - Walk up to the priest at the side of the altar the priest will put his hands over the clear plastic (square) bowl for washing hands, while you pour the water from the cruit over his hands.  Then,  he will take the hand towel off of your arm, dry his hands, and then, put it back on your arm.
- 14 - Next, immediatly go back and put down the water cruit, the hand towel, & the plastic bowl.
- 15 - NOW you are finished for the time of the consecration.  Just pray!
- 16 - After you recieve Eucharist and every one has finished recieving, stand at the side of the altar and the priest will hand you items to take off of the altar.  (leave the Sacramentary)

CLEAN-UP after the Mass:
       - Rinse out the two glass cruits especially the one that had wine in it.  Put all of the items back in to the cabinet.
