As the Presider says, "let us offer each other the sign of peace" assists the Lead with the distribution of the Eucharist into the vessels;  Silently directs any EM's if necessary. 

Lead

At the end of the Our Father the lead enters the Sanctuary. As the Presider says, "let us offer each other the sign of peace" the lead approaches altar and assists the Mass Team captain with the distribution of the Precious Blood into the cups.

The two purifiers assigned to each mass take the vessels from the chapel altar to the sacristy to be cleaned immediately following the recessional.  See directions in the sacristy for further details or download the instructions from this web site
