Q: I enjoy reading your liturgical works.
I am planning and MCing for an Ordination to the Priesthood, which takes place on a Sunday.
May I ask, When should the Creed be recited? After the Kiss of Peace?
Many thanks,

A: Thanks for following my work.
I covered this on p.194 of my book, Present for God’s Call: An Overview of the Rites of Institution and Ordination.
See nos. 138 and 166 of the Ordination ritual. I’m not sure if Canada has the most recent version as we do in the US, but that’s where it explains that the Profession of Faith follows the rites of ordination (the sign of peace) and comes just before the preparation of the gifts because the universal prayer is omitted.
