What does the General Instruction of the Roman Missal  (GIRM) tell us about announcements at Mass? There are six simple words to be found that give us direction! 

D. The Concluding Rites

90.  The concluding rites consist of

a. Brief announcements, if they are necessary;       ( Chapter II, GIRM 2003)

Generally, announcements are for the benefit of the community to assist in their worship within the Mass or to provide information for the community to participate in service or social events that follow immediately after Mass. In our community, most information is well disseminated via the bulletin, e- mail, Commissions, information tables, newsletters, etc.

We seek to keep the sacred nature, reverence and continuity of our Sunday Eucharistic liturgy and will include “brief announcements, if they are necessary”.

Our guidelines for Presider announcements at Mass at St. Ignatius of Loyola Catholic Community are as follows:

Announcements pertaining to Liturgy are permitted as needed.

Announcements about events which immediately follow Mass are permitted as needed.

Exceptions regarding archdiocesan events, emergencies, etc. are at the Pastor’s discretion.

*All other announcements and information should be in the bulletin.*

Requests for announcements are to be submitted by staff/staff liaisons of our parish ministries to the Office of Liturgy.   Please send these at least by noon on the Monday prior, of the weekend that announcements are requested. To submit a request for an announcement at Mass please use the publicity form located to the left under documents.

If you have any problems, please contact Karla Jackson, Pastoral Associate for Liturgy, or all 281-370-3401.

If a ministry wishes to post an event on the website, the sponsoring ministry or organization should first seek the approval of the appropriate commission leadership.
