The Catholic Mass Altar Set-Up
PART B - PREPARE AND SET UP A GARRISON CHAPEL FOR A CATHOLIC MASS
1. Prepare the Altar Area (Chancel).You should follow the steps outlined below when you prepare the altar area:
Position the U.S. flag and Christian chapel flag (Figure 1-1).
Position the U.S. flag on the congregation's left and the Christian Chapel flag on the congregation's right (reverse if not inthe chancel area).

  • Position the chaplain's or celebrant's chair as instructed by the chaplain.
  • Ensure all other altar area furniture is in the proper location as instructed by the chaplain or local SOP.
  • Remove or cover any symbol or statue that is not appropriate for a Catholic Mass.

2. Prepare the Altar, Pulpit, and Lectern.Next, you prepare the altar, pulpit and lectern.
Figure 1-2 shows the layout for the altar and credencetable
Place the altar frontal on the altar with the colored front facing the congregation. (The correctcolor can be determined by referring to an ordo/liturgical calendar.)
Place the altar linen on the altar frontal. The altar linen will cover the portion of the altarfrontal that overlaps the top of the altar. Make sure the altar frontal is straight and the ends ofthe altar linen hang evenly.
Place the two candlesticks equidistant along or near the front (the side facing thecongregation) corners of the altar.
Insert a candle into each candlestick. Both candles should be of an appropriate, equal lengthfor use on the altar.
Place a candle follower on each candle, ensuring the candlewick is ready for easy lighting.
Center the sacramentary on the altar so the chaplain can read the words from behind the altarwhile facing the congregation.
Open the sacramentary to the Order of the Mass for the day.
Center the cross/crucifix on the front edge of the altar, with the crucifix facing thecongregation. (NOTE: If a large crucifix is visible on the wall behind the altar, thesmaller cross/crucifix is not placed on the altar.)
Place an antependium on both the pulpit and lectern. The color of both antependia will matchthe color of the altar frontal. Make sure both antependia are straight.
Place the lectionary on the lectern and open it to the readings of the day.
3. Prepare the Credence Table.
Use Figure 1-2 and the steps outlined below to prepare the credence table.
Place the credence table beside the altar to the right side of the chaplain.
Cover the credence table with a white cloth.
Place the following items on the credence table:
-Chalice assembly (consists of the chalice, purificator, paten, large host, pall, chalice veil [the color of the chalice veil will match the color of the altar frontal and antependia], andcorporal [see Figure 1-3 on the next page]).
-Two cruets (one filled with wine and one filled with water).
-Lavabo bowl.
-Finger towel.
-Communion paten (this normally has a handle on it).
-Ciborium.

NOTE: The cruets and ciborium will not be placed on the credence table if an offertory table is used.When you have finished preparing the credence table, you should inspect the altar area, from the congregation's perspective, for proper appearance and neatness
