When to ring bells during Mass?

[theunworthyservant]

In the Philippines, it is customary to ring bells during the entrance procession, the Gloria, the Epiclesis, thrice during the elevation of each species and also at each genuflection of the priest, at the Great Doxology, and finally the consumption of the Precious Blood by the priest. We would also use multiple bells (for example the Sanctus quadra bell, as well as the single bell). Are these practices acceptable in the Roman Rite?

The only time I have heard bells ring during Mass has been at the start and during the Eucharistic prayer.

At the traditional Latin Mass the bells may be rung: for the beginning of the Offertory, at the Hanc igitur (when the priest extends his hands over the offerings), three times at the Sanctus, once for the genuflection before and after the consecration and 1-3 times at the elevation. Once at the minor elevation. At the priest’s Domine non sum dignus, you ring once for the first, twice for the second, thrice for the third.
I believe all of these could be implemented in the ordinary form with permission from the celebrating priest.

What does the GIRM for your country say?

All I know about the Philippines is this. An uncle of mine (British) married a woman (Filippina) in the Philippines at a Catholic Nuptial Mass. I don’t know how because it was his third marriage and I know with certainty neither of his prior two had been annulled. Also, we were sent a video of it. The cast list of bridesmaids, ushers, flower girls, etc., was way over the top. I’ve seen less fuss at a royal wedding.

What does this have to do with the topic?

I do believe that is for CAF staff to decide. They have so decided and removed my post. However, I am surprised your post is still here as its quotes mine.

The General Instruction of the Roman Missal has:

“150. A little before the Consecration, if appropriate, a minister rings a small bell as a sign to the faithful. The minister also rings the small bell at each elevation by the Priest, according to local custom.”

For the Thursday of the Lord’s Supper, the Roman Missal has:

“7. The Gloria in excelsis Deo (Glory to God in the highest), is said. While the hymn is being sung, bells are rung, and when it is finished, they remain silence until the Gloria in excelsis of the Easter Vigil, unless, if appropriate, the Diocesan Bishop has decided otherwise.”

For the Easter Vigil, the Roman Missal has:

“31. After the last reading from the Old Testament with its Responsorial Psalm and its prayer, the altar candles are lit, and the Priest intones the hymn Gloria in excelsis Deo (Glory to God in the highest), which is taken up by all, while bells are rung, according to local custom.”
