Blessing of new chalices & paten for St Catherine's

During the morning Mass on Wednesday 15 May, Fr. John blessed two new chalices and a paten to be used at St. Catherine’s Church. Class 4 were present from St. Catherine’s School along with parishioners. 

The chalice of salvation I will raise,
and I will offer a sacrifice of praise, alleluia.

The prayer of blessing from The Roman Missal reads:

With joy, Lord God,
we place on your altar these chalices and paten
for the celebration of the sacrifice of the new covenant:
may the Body and Blood of your Son,
offered and received by means of these vessels,
make them holy.
Grant, we pray, O Lord,
that, celebrating the unblemished sacrifice,
we may be renewed by your Sacraments on earth
and endowed with your Spirit,
until with the Saints we come to delight in your banquet
in the Kingdom of Heaven.
Glory and honour to you for ever.
Blessed be God for ever.
