ENTRANCE HYMN: ALL ARE WELCOME

Let us build a house

where love can dwell
And all can safely live,
A place where
saints and children tell
How hearts learn to forgive.
Built of hopes and dreams and visions,
Rock of faith and vault of grace;
Here the love of Christ shall end divisions;
Let us build a house where prophets speak,
And words are strong and true,
Where all God's children dare to seek
To dream God's reign anew.
Here the cross shall stand as witness
And a symbol of God's grace;
Here as one we claim the faith of Jesus:
Let us build a house where love is found
In water, wine and wheat:
A banquet hall on holy ground,
Where peace and justice meet.
Here the love of God, through Jesus,
Is revealed in time and space;
As we share in Christ the feast that frees us:
All are welcome, all are welcome,
All are welcome in this place.

INTRODUCTORY RITES
When the people are gathered, the Priest approaches the altar with the ministers while the Entrance
Chant is sung.

When he has arrived at the altar, after making a profound bow with the ministers, the Priest venerates
the altar with a kiss and, if a appropriate, incenses the cross and the altar. Then, with the ministers, he
goes to the chair.

When the Entrance Chant is concluded, the Priest and the faithful, standing, sign themselves with the
Sign of the Cross, whole the priest, facing the people, says:

Priest:

In the name of the Father,

and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.
The people reply:

Amen.

Then the Priest, extended his hands, greets the people saying:

The grace and peace of our Lord Jesus

Christ and the love of God and the
fellowship of the Holy Sprit be with you
all.

The people reply:

And with your spirit.

PENITENTIAL ACT
Then follows the Penitential Act, to which the Priest invites the faithful, saying:
Priest:

Brothers and sisters, today our hearts

are filled with gratitude for the blessings
of your academic endeavors. However,
we also acknowledge our failures and
mistakes and ask the Lord for pardon
and strength.
A brief pause for silence follows. Then all recite together the formula of general
confession:

I confess to Almighty God and to you my

brothers and sisters that I have greatly
sinned, in my thoughts and in my words,
in what I have done and in what I have
failed to do,
And, striking their breast, they say:
through my fault, through my fault,
through my most grievous fault;
Then they continue:
therefore, I ask Blessed Mary ever-
Virgin all the Angels and Saints, and you,
my brothers and sisters to pray for me
to the Lord our God.

The absolution of the Priest follows:

May Almighty God have mercy on us,

forgive us our sins and bring us to
everlasting life.
All:
Amen.

COLLECT
When the hymn is concluded, the Priest, with hands joined says:

Let us pray.
And all pray in silence with the Priest for a while.

Then the Priest, with hands extended, says the collect prayer:

O God, who by the preaching of the

Bishop Saint Augustine of Canterbury
led the English peoples to Gospels,
grant, we pray, that the fruits of his
labors may remain ever abundant in
your Church. Through our Lord Jesus
Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns
with you in the unity of the Holy
Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.
All:
Amen.

 LITURGY OF THE WORD

FIRST READING

A reading from the Acts of the Apostles

One night while Paul was in Corinth, the Lord said to him in a vision,
“Do not be afraid.
Go on speaking, and do not be silent, for I am with you.
No one will attack and harm you,
for I have many people in this city.”
He settled there for a year and a half
and taught the word of God among them.
But when Gallio was proconsul of Achaia,
the Jews rose up together against Paul
and brought him to the tribunal, saying,
“This man is inducing people to worship God contrary to the law.”
When Paul was about to reply, Gallio spoke to the Jews,
“If it were a matter of some crime or malicious fraud,
I should with reason hear the complaint of you Jews;
but since it is a question of arguments over doctrine and titles
and your own law, see to it yourselves.
I do not wish to be a judge of such matters.”
And he drove them away from the tribunal.
They all seized Sosthenes, the synagogue official,
and beat him in full view of the tribunal.
But none of this was of concern to Gallio.
Paul remained for quite some time,
and after saying farewell to the brothers he sailed for Syria,
together with Priscilla and Aquila.
At Cenchreae he had shaved his head because he had taken a vow.
To indicate the end of the reading, the reader acclaims:

The Word of the Lord.

All reply:

Thanks be to God.

The Deacon or the Priest, then proceeds to the ambo, accompanied, if appropriate,
by ministers with incense and candles. Then he says:

The Lord be with you!

The people reply:

And with your spirit.

The Priest:
 A Reading from the Holy Gospel
according to John.
People acclaim:
Glory to You, O Lord

Jesus said to his disciples:

“Amen, amen, I say to you, you will weep
and mourn, while the world rejoices;
you will grieve, but your grief will become
joy. When a woman is in labor, she is in
anguish because her hour has arrived;
but when she has given birth to a child,
she no longer remembers the pain because
of her joy that a child has been born into
the world. So you also are now in anguish.
But I will see you again, and your hearts
will rejoice, and no one will take your joy
away from you. On that day you will not
question me about anything. Amen, amen, I
say to you, whatever you ask the Father in
my name he will give you.”

9
At the end of the Gospel, the Deacon, or the Priest, acclaims:

The Gospel of the Lord.

All reply:

Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ.

LITURGY OF THE EUCHARIST

Commentator:
Please be seated for the Offertory.
12
 OFFERTORY HYMN: CHRISTIFY

Christify the gifts we bring to You

Bounty of the earth, receive a new.
Take the bless the work of our hands

Christify these gifts at Your command.

Sun and moon and earth and wind and rain
All the world’s contained in every grain
All the toil and dreams of human kind,
All we are, we bring as bread and wine.

Turn the bread and wine, our hearts implore

To the living presence of the Lord,
Blessed and broken, shared with all in need
All our hungers, sacred bread will feed.

With this bread and wine you christify

Now our deepest thirst you satisfy
We who by this bread You sanctify
Draw the world for you to christify.

When all this has been done, the Offertory Chant begins. Meanwhile, the ministers
place the corporal, the purificator, the chalice, the pall, and the Missal on the altar.

13
It is desirable that the faithful express their participation by making an offering,
bringing forward bread and wine for the celebration of the Eucharist and perhaps
other gifts to relieve the needs of the Church and of the poor.

The Priest, standing at the altar, takes the paten with the bread and holds it
slightly raised above the altar with both hands, saying in a low voice:

Blessed are you, Lord God of all creation,

for through your goodness, we have received
the bread we offer you:
fruit of the earth and work of human hands,
it will become for us the bread of life.
Then he places the paten with the bread on the corporal.

If, however, the Offertory Chant is not sung, the Priest may speak these words
aloud; at the end, the people may acclaim:

Blessed be God for ever.

The Deacon, or the Priest, pours wine and a little water into the chalice, saying
quietly:

By the mystery of this water and wine

may we come to share in the divinity of Christ
who humbled himself to share in our
humanity.
The Priest then takes the chalice and holds it slightly raised above the altar with
both hands, saying in a low voice:

Blessed are you, Lord God of all creation,

for through your goodness we have received
the wine we offer you:
fruit of the vine and work of human hands,
it will become our spiritual drink.
Then he places the chalice on the corporal. If, however, the Offertory Chant is not
sung, the Priest may speak these words aloud; at the end, the people may acclaim:

14
 Blessed be God for ever.
After this, the Priest, bowing profoundly, says quietly:

With humble spirit and contrite heart

may we be accepted by you, O Lord,
and may our sacrifice in your sight this day
be pleasing to you, Lord God.
If appropriate, he also incenses the offerings, the cross, and the altar. A Deacon or
other minister then incenses the Priest and the people.

Then the Priest, standing at the side of the altar, washes his hands, saying quietly:

Wash me, O Lord, from my iniquity

and cleanse me from my sin.
Standing at the middle of the altar, facing the people, extending and then joining
his hands, he says:

Pray, brethren (brothers and sisters),

that my sacrifice and yours
may be acceptable to God,
the almighty Father.
The people rise and reply:
May the Lord accept the sacrifice at your
hands for the praise and glory of his name,
for our good
and the good of all his holy Church.
Then the Priest, with hands extended says the Prayer over the Offerings.

PRAYER OVER THE OFFERINGS

15
 Look with favor, O Lord, we pray, on
the offerings we set upon this sacred
altar on the feast day of Saint
Augustine of Canterbury, that
bestowing on us your pardon, our
oblations may give honor to your

name. Through Christ our Lord.

All:
Amen.

16
PREFACE
Priest The Lord be with you.
All And with your spirit.

Priest Lift up your hearts.

All We lift them up to the Lord.

Priest Let us give thanks to the Lord

our God.
All It is right and just.

It is truly right and just, our duty

and our salvation, always and
everywhere to give you thanks,
Lord, holy Father, almighty and
eternal God, through Christ our
Lord.

For, as on the festival of Saint

Augustine of Canterbury you bid
your Church rejoice, so, too, you
strengthen her by the example of
his holy life, teach her by his
words of preaching, and keep her
safe in answer to his prayers.

17
 And so, with the company of Angels and
Saints, we sing the hymn of your praise,
as without end we acclaim:

SANCTUS
Holy, holy, holy, Lord, God of Host!
Heaven and earth are full of your glory
Hosanna in the highest.
Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord
Hosanna in the highest.
Commentator:
Let us all kneel.

EUCHARISTIC PRAYER II
18
The priest, with hands extended, says:

You are indeed Holy, O Lord, the fount of

all holiness.
He joins his hands and, holding them extended over the offerings, says:

Make holy, therefore, these gifts, we

pray, by sending down Your Spirit upon
them like the dewfall,
He joins his hands
and makes the Signs of the Cross once over the Bread and the Chalice together,
saying:

so that they may become for us the Body

 and Blood of our Lord, Jesus Christ.
He joins his hands.
In the formulas that follow, the words of the Lord should be pronounced clearly
and distinctly, as the nature of these words requires.

At the time He was betrayed and entered

willingly into His Passion,
He takes the bread and, holding it slightly raised above the altar, continues:

he took bread and, giving thanks, broke

it, and gave it to His disciples, saying:
He bows slightly.

TAKE THIS, ALL OF YOU, AND EAT OF IT,

FOR THIS IS MY BODY, WHICH WILL BE
GIVEN UP FOR YOU.
After this, he continues:

19
 In a similar way, when supper was
ended,
He takes the chalice and, holding it slightly raised above tha altar, continues:

he took the chalice and, once more giving

thanks, He gave it to His disciples,
saying:
He bows slightly.

TAKE THIS, ALL OF YOU, AND DRINK

FROM IT, FOR THIS IS THE CHALICE OF
MY BLOOD, THE BLOOD OF THE NEW
AND ETERNAL COVENANT, WHICH WILL
BE POURED OUT FOR YOU AND FOR
MANY FOR THE FORGIVENESS OF SINS.
DO THIS IN MEMORY OF ME.
He shows tha chalice to the people, places it on the corporal, and genuflects in
adoration.

Then he says:

The mystery of faith.

And the people continue, acclaiming:

When we eat this bread and drink this

cup, we proclaim your death, O Lord
until you come again.

Then the Priest, with hands extended, says:

20
 Therefore, as we celebrate
the memorial of His Death and
Resurrection, we offer You, Lord,
the Bread of Life and the Chalice of
Salvation, giving thanks that You have
held us worthy to be in Your presence
and minister to You.

Humbly we pray
that, partaking of the Body and Blood of
Christ, we may be gathered into one by
the Holy Spirit.

Remember, Lord, Your Church,

spread throughout the world,
and bring Her to the fullness of charity,
together with Francis our Pope,
Francisco our Bishop, Nolly his Auxiliary
Bishop, Gabriel our Bishop Emeritus and
all the clergy.

Remember also our brothers and sisters

who have fallen asleep in the hope of
their resurrection, and all who have died
in Your mercy: welcome them into the
light of Your face.

21
 Have mercy on us all, we pray,
that with the Blessed Virgin Mary,
Mother of God, with Saint Joseph, her
Most Chaste Spouse, with the Blessed
Apostles, and all the Saints who have
pleased You throughout the ages, we
may merit to be coheirs to eternal life,
and may praise and glorify You
He joins his hands.
through Your Son, Jesus Christ.

He takes the chalice and the paten with the host and raising both, he
says:

Through Him, and with Him, and in Him,

O God, Almighty Father,
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
all glory and honor is Yours
for ever and ever.
The people acclaim:

Amen.

22
 THE COMMUNION RITE
After the chalice and paten have been set down, the Priest, with hands joined, says:

At the Savior’s command

and formed by divine teaching,
we dare to say:
He extends his hands and, together with the people, continues:

Our Father, who art in heaven,

Hallowed be thy name;
thy kingdom come,
thy will be done
on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread,
and forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass
against us;
and lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
With hands extended, the Priest alone continues, saying:

Deliver us, Lord, we pray, from every

evil, graciously grant peace in our days,
that, by the help of Your mercy,
we may be always free from sin
and safe from all distress,
23
 as we await the blessed hope
and the coming of our Savior,
Jesus Christ.
He joins his hands.
The people conclude the prayer, acclaiming:

For the kingdom,

the power and the glory are Yours
now and for ever.
Then the Priest, with hands extended, says aloud:

Lord Jesus Christ,

who said to Your Apostles:
Peace I leave you, My peace I give you,
look not on our sins,
but on the faith of Your Church,
and graciously grant Her peace and unity
in accordance with Your will,
He joins his hands.

Who live and reign forever and ever.

The people reply:

Amen.
The Priest turned towards the people, extending, and then joining his hands, adds:

The peace of the Lord be with you

always.
24
The people reply:

And with your spirit.

Then, if appropriate, the Priest adds:

Let us offer each other the sign of peace.

And all offer one another a sign, in keeping with local customs, that expresses
peace, communion, and charity. The Priest gives the sign of peace to a Deacon or
minister.

Then he takes the Host, breaks it over the paten, and places a small piece in the
chalice, saying quietly:

May this mingling of the Body and Blood

of our Lord Jesus Christ
bring eternal life to us who receive it.
Meanwhile the following is sung or said:

Lamb of God, you take away the sins of

the world, have mercy on us.
Lamb of God, you take away the sins of
the world, have mercy on us.
Lamb of God, you take away the sins of
the world, grant us peace.
The invocation may even be repeated several times if the fraction is prolonged.
Only the final time, however, is grant us peace said.

Then the Priest, with hands joined, says quietly:

25
 Lord Jesus Christ, Son of the living God,
who, by the will of the Father
and the work of the Holy Spirit,
through your Death gave life to the
world,free me by this, your most holy
Body and Blood, from all my sins and
from every evil; keep me always faithful
to your commandments,
and never let me be parted from you.
Or:

May the receiving of your Body and

Blood, Lord Jesus Christ, not bring me to
judgment and condemnation,
but through your loving mercy
be for me protection in mind and body
and a healing remedy.
The Priest genuflects, takes the host and, holding it slightly raised above the paten
or above the chalice, while facing the people, says aloud:

Behold the Lamb of God,

behold him who takes away the sins of
the world.
Blessed are those called to the supper of
the Lamb.

26
And together with the people he adds once:

Lord, I am not worthy

that you should enter under my roof,
but only say the word
and my soul shall be healed.
The Priest, facing the altar, says quietly:

May the Body of Christ

keep me safe for eternal life.

And he reverently consumes the Body of Christ. Then he takes the chalice and says
quietly:

May the Blood of Christ

keep me safe for eternal life.
And he reverently consumes the Blood of Christ. After this, he takes the paten or
ciborium and approaches the communicants. The Priest raises a host slightly and
shows it to each of the communicants, saying:

The Body of Christ.

The communicant replies:

Amen.
and receives Holy Communion.

If a Deacon also distributes Holy Communion, he does so in the same manner.

If any are present who are to receive Holy Communion under both kinds, the rite
described in the proper place is to be followed.

While the Priest is receiving the Body of Christ, the Communion Chant begins.

27
When the distribution of Communion is over, the Priest or a Deacon or an acolyte
purifies the paten over the chalice and also the chalice itself. While he carries out
the purification, the Priest says quietly:

What has passed our lips as food, O Lord,

may we possess in purity of heart,
that what has been given to us in time
may be our healing for eternity.
Then the Priest may return to the chair. If appropriate, a sacred silence may be
observed for a while, or a psalm or other canticle of praise or a hymn may be sung.

28
PRAYER AFTER COMMUNION
Commentator:

Please all stand.

Then, standing at the altar or at the chair and facing the people, with hands joined,
the Priest says:

Let us pray.
All pray in silence with the Priest for a while, unless silence has just been observed.
Then the Priest, with hands extended, says the Prayer after Communion.

Renewed by the sacred mysteries, we

humbly pray, O Lord, that. Following the
example of Saint Augustine of
Canterbury, we may strive to profess
what he believed and to practice what he
taught. Through Christ our Lord.
The people acclaim:

Amen.

29
RITE OF VESTITION
Commentator:

It has been an old age tradition of graduates

to wear academic gowns. This ritual adds to
the feeling of pride that finally one chapter of
the student’s life has been successfully
completed and only those who have toiled
and persevered are given the right to wear
them.

This touching moment when we see the

parents assisting their children in wearing the
gown symbolizing the unfading love and
support of parents to their children.

At this point in time, we invite the parents to

approach their children for our vestition
ceremony.

May dear parents please assist your children

in wearing their academic gown.

30
MEDALS FOR GRADUATING STUDENTS
Commentator:

This year, the school is giving medals to

graduating students as a symbol of
appreciation and recognition for hard work
and dedication that the students spend to
reach this momentous event. This medal also
reminds the graduates of the holistic and
catholic formation given to them. The medal
has an inscription which is the school’s
flagship, Deus Super Omnia which means
God above all.

May we request the parents to put on the

medals to their children.

Students, please show your love and

gratitude to your parents.

31
 THE CONCLUDING RITES
If they are necessary, any brief announcements to the people follow here.

Then the dismissal takes place. The Priest, facing the people and extending his
hands says:

The Lord be with you.

The people reply:

And with your spirit.

Fr. Glenn:

Let us bow our heads to pray for God’s

blessing
May your people receive your blessing, O
Lord, we pray, and by that gift, spurn all
that would harm them and obtain what
they desire. Through Christ our Lord.
The people reply:

Amen.
The priest blesses the people saying:

May almighty God bless you, the Father,

the Son,  and the Holy Spirit

32
The people reply:

Amen.
Then the Priest himself, with hands joined and facing the people, says:

Go in peace, glorifying the Lord by Your

life.
The people reply:

Thanks be to God.
