Do it right -- Where to sit and stand

Do you ever wonder if you sitting or standing in the right place? Here are a couple of diagrams to help you sort that out.
When you are sitting at the high altar, you should sit on the side that you are going to do most of your work on. That means the C1 and T1 should sit on the Epistle side (the right side as you face the high altar.) and C2 and T2 should sit on the Gospel side (the left side as you face the high altar).



When all the acolytes and the Eucharistic Ministers (Chalice Bearers) are standing behind the altar during the Eucharist, once again you should stay on the side you are working on. So C1 and T1 will stand on the Epistle side and C2 and T2 will stand on the Gospel side. The Eucharistic Ministers will stand in the middle.
