et vocavit eos: Venite post me: faciam vos fieri piscatores hominum.
Ps. Cæli enarrant gloriam Dei: et opera manuum eius annuntiat firmamentum.

The Lord, walking by the sea of Galilee, saw two brothers, Peter and Andrew,

work of his hands.

A brief pause for silence follows. Then all recite together the formula of general confession:
All: 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,
through my fault, through my fault,
through my most grievous fault;
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.

Bishop: May almighty God have mercy on us, forgive us our sins,
And bring us to everlasting life.
℟ Amen.

LBishop: et us pray.

We humbly implore your majesty, O Lord,

so he may be for us a constant intercessor before you.
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.
℟ Amen.

THE LITURGY OF THE WORD

FIRST READING Proclaimed by Miss Anna Green

A reading from the prophet Isaiah 61:1-3

The spirit of the Lord has been given to me,
for the Lord has anointed me.
He has sent me to bring good news to the poor,
to bind up hearts that are broken;
to proclaim liberty to captives,
freedom to those in prison;
to proclaim a year of favour from the Lord,
a day of vengeance for our God,
to comfort all those who mourn and to give them
for ashes a garland;
for mourning robe the oil of gladness,
for despondency, praise.

The word of the Lord.
℟ Thanks be to God.

RESPONSORIAL PSALM Ps 88:21-22. 25. 27. ℟ cf. v. 2

I have found David my servant
and with my holy oil anointed him.
My hand shall always be with him
and my arm shall make him strong. ℟
My truth and my love shall be with him;
by my name his might shall be exalted.
He will say to me: ‘You are my father,
my God, the rock who saves me.’ ℟

SECOND READING Proclaimed by Mr Clemens del Rosario

A reading from the letter of Saint Paul to the Romans 10:9-18

If your lips confess that Jesus is Lord and if you believe in your heart that God
raised him from the dead, then you will be saved. By believing from the heart
you are made righteous; by confessing with your lips you are saved. When
scripture says: those who believe in him will have no cause for shame, it makes
no distinction between Jew and Greek: all belong to the same Lord who is rich
enough however many ask his help, for everyone who calls on the name of the
Lord will be saved.

But they will not ask his help unless they believe in him, and they will not
believe in him unless they have heard of him, and they will not hear of him
unless they get a preacher, and they will never have a preacher unless one is
sent, but as scripture says: The footsteps of those who bring good news are
welcome sound. Not everyone, of course, listens to the Good News. As Isaiah
says: Lord, how many believed what we proclaimed? So faith comes from what
is preached, and what is preached comes from the word of Christ.

Let me put the question: is it possible that hey did not hear? Indeed they did; in
the words of the psalm, their voice has gone out through all the earth, and their
message to the ends of the world.

The word of the Lord.
℟ Thanks be to God.

GOSPEL ACCLAMATION Mt 4:19

The cantors, alone, intone the Alleluia. All repeat. C. Mawby

Cantor: Follow me, says the Lord,
And I will make you into fishers of men.
All repeat the “Alleluia”

THE GOSPEL Proclaimed by Deacon Ronnie Maree

A reading from the holy Gospel according to Matthew 4:18-22

As Jesus was walking by the Sea of Galilee he saw two brothers, Simon, who
was called Peter, and his brother Andrew; they were making a cast in the lake
with their net, for they were fishermen. And he said to them, ‘Follow me and I
will make you fishers of men.’ And they left their nets at once and followed him.
Going on from there he saw another pair of brothers, James son of Zebedee
and his brother John; they were in their boat with their father Zebedee,
mending their nets, and he called them. At once, leaving the boat and their
father, they followed him.

The Gospel of the Lord.
℟ Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ.

RITE OF ORDINATION

ELECTION OF THE CANDIDATES
The candidates are called by a Deacon:
Let those to be ordained Priests come forward.

Then their names are called by the Deacon. Each one replies:
Present.

PRESENTATION OF THE CANDIDATES

Very Rev John Hogan: Most Reverend Father, holy mother Church asks you to
ordain these, our brothers, to the responsibility of the
Priesthood.

Bishop: Do you know them to be worthy?

Very Rev John Hogan: After inquiry among the Christian people and upon the
recommendation of those responsible, I testify that
they have been found worthy.

Bishop: Relying on the help of the Lord God and our Saviour
Jesus Christ, we choose these, our brothers, for the
Order of the Priesthood.

All present say: Thanks be to God.

HOMILY Most Reverend Vincent Long Van Nguyen OFM Conv.

PROMISE OF THE ELECT

After the Homily, the elect alone rise and stand before the Bishop, who questions all of
them together in these words:

DBishop: ear sons, before you enter the Order of the Priesthood, you must

declare before the people your intention to undertake this office.
Do you resolve, with the help of the Holy Spirit, to discharge without
fail the office of Priesthood in the presbyteral rank, as worthy fellow
workers with the Order of Bishops in caring for the Lord’s flock?
Together, all the elect reply:
℟ I do.
Bishop: Do you resolve to exercise the ministry of the word worthily and
wisely, preaching the Gospel and teaching the Catholic faith?
Elect: ℟ I do.
Bishop: Do you resolve to celebrate faithfully and reverently, in accord with
the Church’s tradition, the mysteries of Christ, especially the Sacrifice
of the Eucharist and the Sacrament of Reconciliation, for the glory of
God and the sanctification of the Christian people?
Elect: ℟ I do.
Bishop: Do you resolve to implore with us God’s mercy upon the people
entrusted to your care by observing the command to pray without
ceasing?
Elect: ℟ I do.
Bishop: Do you resolve to be united more closely every day to Christ the High
Priest, who offered himself for us to the Father as a pure Sacrifice,
and with him to consecrate yourselves to God for the salvation of all?
Elect: ℟ I do, with the help of God.

PROMISE OF OBEDIENCE

Then each one of the elect goes to the Bishop and, kneeling before him, places his joined
hands between those of the Bishop.

DBishop: o you promise respect and obedience to me and my successors?

Elect: ℟ I do.
Bishop: May God who has begun the good work in you bring it to fulfillment.

LITANY OF SUPPLICATION

MBishop: y dear people, let us pray that God the all–powerful Father

will pour out abundantly the gifts of heaven on these, his servants,
whom he has chosen for the office of Priest.
The Deacon says:
Let us kneel.

After the singing of the Litany, the Bishop alone rises and with hands extended, sings or says:

Hear us, we beseech you, Lord our God,
and pour out on these servants of yours
the blessing of the Holy Spirit and the power of priestly grace,
that those whom in the sight of your mercy we offer
to be consecrated,
may be surrounded by your rich and unfailing gifts.
Through Christ our Lord.

All reply:
℟ Amen.

The Deacon says:
Let us stand.
All rise.

LAYING ON OF HANDS AND PRAYER OF ORDINATION

After the Bishop has laid hands, all the Priests present, lay hands on the elect, without
saying anything.

HYMN Veni Creator Spiritus Chant Mode VIII



With the elect kneeling before him, the Bishop puts aside the mitre, and, with hands
extended, he sings or says the Prayer of Ordination.

D raw near, O Lord, holy Father, almighty and eternal God,

author of human dignity:
it is you who apportion all graces.
Through you everything progresses;
through you all things are made to stand firm.
To form a priestly people you appoint ministers of Christ your Son
by the power of the Holy Spirit,
arranging them in different orders.
Already in the earlier covenant
offices arose, established through mystical rites:
when you set Moses and Aaron over your people
to govern and sanctify them,
you chose men next in rank and dignity
to accompany them and assist them in their task.
So too in the desert
you implanted the spirit of Moses
in the hearts of seventy wise men;
and with their help he ruled your people with greater ease.
So also upon the sons of Aaron
you poured an abundant share of their father’s plenty,
that the number of the priests prescribed by the Law
might be sufficient for the sacrifices of the tabernacle,
which were a shadow of the good things to come.
But in these last days, holy Father,
you sent your Son into the world,
Jesus, who is Apostle and High Priest of our confession.
Through the Holy Spirit
he offered himself to you as a spotless victim;
and he made his Apostles, consecrated in the truth,
sharers in his mission.
You provided them also with companions
to proclaim and carry out the work of salvation
throughout the whole world.

And now we beseech you, Lord, in our weakness,
to grant us these helpers that we need
to exercise the Priesthood that comes from the Apostles.
Grant, we pray, Almighty Father,
to these your servants the dignity of the Priesthood;
renew deep within them
the Spirit of holiness;
may they henceforth posses this office,
which comes from you, O God,
and is next in rank to the office of Bishop;
and by the example of their manner of life,
may they instill right conduct.
May they be worthy co–workers with our Order,
so that by their preaching
and through the grace of the Holy Spirit
the words of the Gospel may bear fruit in human hearts
and reach even to the ends of the earth.
Together with us, may they be faithful stewards of your mysteries,
so that your people may be renewed in the waters of rebirth
and nourished from your altar;
so that sinners may be reconciled and the sick raised up.
May they be joined with us, Lord,
in imploring your mercy for the people entrusted to their care
and for all the world.
And so may the full number of the nations,
gathered together in Christ,
be transformed into your one people
and made perfect in your Kingdom.
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 reply:
℟ Amen.

INVESTITURE WITH STOLE AND CHASUBLE

The newly ordained Priests stand. The assisting Priests help the newly ordained
Priests to arrange the stole in the manner proper to Priests and to put on the chasuble.

During the investiture with the stole and chasuble, the schola sings the following antiphon
with Psalm 109 (110).
Christ the Lord, a Priest for ever, according to the order of
Melchizedek, offered bread and wine.

ANOINTING OF HANDS AND HANDING OVER THE BREAD AND WINE

The Bishop then anoints with holy Chrism the palms of each new Priest as he kneels
before him.

Bishop: The Lord Jesus Christ,
whom the Father anointed with the Holy Spirit and power,
guard and preserve you that you may sanctify the Christian people
and offer sacrifice to God.

Then, the Bishop and the newly ordained Priests wash their hands.
Next, some of the faithful bring a paten holding the bread and a chalice containing the
wine mixed with water for the celebration of the Mass.

During the presentation of the Offertory, the choir sings the motet

If Ye Love Me Th. Tallis

If ye love me, keep my commandments.
And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another comforter,

that he may bide with you forever; E'en the spirit of truth.
(John 14: 15-17)

Bishop: Receive the oblation of the holy people, to be offered to God.
Understand what you do, imitate what you celebrate,
and conform your life to the mystery of the Lord’s Cross.

THE FRATERNAL KISS

Bishop: Peace be with you.
The newly ordained Priests reply:
And with your spirit.

All the Priests present do likewise.

During the Fraternal Kiss, all join with the choir in singing the hymn:

HYMN O God of all creation

Motet Tu es sacerdos in aeternam N. Praglia

Tu es Sacérdos in aeternum secundum ordinem Melchisedech.
V. Juravit, juravit Dominus, et non poenitebit eum.
You are a priest for ever in the order of Melchisedek.
V. The Lord has sworn an oath he will not repent.
R. You are a priest..

LITURGY OF THE EUCHARIST

MOTET Lead, me Lord S.Wesley

Sung by the cathedral choir.

Lead me, Lord, lead me in thy righteousness, make thy way plain before my

Teach me, Lord, teach me truly how to live, that I may come to know thee, and
in thy presence serve thee with gladness, and sing songs of praise to thy glory.

Standing at the middle of the altar, facing the people, extending and then joining his
hands, the Bishop says:

P ray, 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.

PRAYER OVER THE OFFERINGS

GBishop: rant us, almighty God, that through these offerings,

which we bring on the feast day of Saint Andrew,
we may please you by what we have brought
and be given life by what you have accepted.
Through Christ our Lord.
℟ Amen.

PREFACE I OF APOSTLES: The Apostles, shepherds of God’s people.

so that it may be governed by those you have appointed shepherds
to lead it in the name of your Son.

and with all the hosts and Powers of heaven, we sing the hymn of
your glory, as without end we acclaim:
