Representatives of the congregation bring the people's offerings of bread and wine, and money or other gifts, to the deacon or celebrant. |
They were married by a celebrant and, incidentally, it's the first non-church wedding I've ever been to. |
On Sunday, for example, the celebrant would read the biblical story of the resurrection of the Lord. |
The chief celebrant at the Mass was Fr. Fergal Cunnane and he also delivered a fine homily. |
Further, if a suitable lector is not present, then the priest celebrant also delivers the other readings. |
On the way out of the church, I stopped and told the celebrant that it was the best sermon I had ever heard in my life. |
