The Holy Eucharist: Rite One The Very Rev. Barkley S. Thompson, Dean Celebrant Welcome to Christ Church Cathedral! We have a socially distanced and masked seating section available. The east transept is reserved for those who choose both to physically distance and wear masks. If you’re sitting in that designated section, you are expected to wear masks and sit socially distanced. For others who wish to mask, we have masks available at all welcome tables. As we continue to navigate the COVID pandemic, Bishop Doyle has instructed that we are not to drink from the common cup at Communion. Intinction (i.e.dipping the wafer in the chalice) is permitted. It is also acceptable to receive bread but not wine, as each element of Communion contains a full measure of grace. All stand as the Procession enters

The Lord be with you. And with thy spirit. Let us pray.
Almighty God, whose blessed Son was led by the Spirit to be tempted of Satan: Make speed to help thy servants who are assaulted by manifold temptations; and, as thou knowest their several infirmities, let each one find thee mighty to save; through Jesus Christ thy Son our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.
