I never did that as a child.<br /><br />But the Christmas and Easter Triduum (we didn't call it that back then, it just was "Holy Week") Masses were wonderful to serve. Especially the long Masses on Holy Thursday and Holy Saturday. Lots of stuff to do. And maybe a dozen servers on the altar.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08332138030182107580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3147998851717628040.post-58839574311184875902010-08-14T16:22:00.793-07:002010-08-14T16:22:00.793-07:00I can't agree more Ray, I was trusted by the M...I can't agree more Ray, I was trusted by the MC at the conferance to be the Bishops Book bearer at the Pontifical High Mass and to serve as Accolyte at two Misa Solemnis.Just another mad Catholichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10503510474554718305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3147998851717628040.post-88610438477327583782010-08-14T06:34:36.205-07:002010-08-14T06:34:36.205-07:00One of the reasons that the EF Mass is popular wit...One of the reasons that the EF Mass is popular with boys is that you have important things to do.<br /><br />In the Novus Ordo Mass, you process in, you sit down, and then you pretty much go back out.<br /><br />In the EF Mass, you set up the altar, you light the candles, you carry the missal from side to side, you ring the bells, you respond to the prayers of the priest in Latin (something that not everybody can do), you genuflect and bow with the priest, etc.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08332138030182107580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3147998851717628040.post-75765546492268391272010-08-14T05:52:12.180-07:002010-08-14T05:52:12.180-07:00I was learning to serve the EF (Low Mass) at a tra...I was learning to serve the EF (Low Mass) at a training conference last week and as a consequece was wearing a Cassock for most of the week; I can now understand why so many Priests seem to start of as Altar BoysJust another mad Catholichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10503510474554718305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3147998851717628040.post-16147772096094732342010-08-14T05:22:41.332-07:002010-08-14T05:22:41.332-07:00Especially interesting in view of your recent post...Especially interesting in view of your recent post, "The Truth about Men and Church".<br /><br />St. Stephen's in Sacramento has about 900 parishioners of which 90 are altar boys. "That has to be some kind of record," remarked one of the priests. It's an FSSP parish with the traditional Latin Mass, so the boys have to know a lot of lines in Latin- and they do. They have a altar guild with ranks and medals and dodgeball games.<br /><br />My own parish is novus ordo, but the pastor has altar boys only, and it's <i>great</i>.Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06624317806947588259noreply@blogger.com
