johnnydigit Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 "Altar Serving 101" [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iL0Vz_WTuA4"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iL0Vz_WTuA4[/url] "This is an altar server training video which includes talks on the significance of the Mass, Communion, Offertory, etc. It is presented by Fr. Robert Elias Barcelos, OCD, of St. Therese of Lisieux Church, Alhambra, CA." pretty cool video. Fr. Robert is an awesome new Carmelite priest who reminds me of Fr. Stan Fortuna.. both great priests with tons of zeal for our generation. hopefully there are more videos like this to come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apotheoun Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 Good video overall. I give it an "A". I would have given it an "A+" but it mentioned female altar boys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paladin D Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 Our parish altar server coordinator and servers needs to watch this video. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BG45 Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 It was a good video, until I read the description that the Fr. is a member of "OCD". Then I almost laughed at the whole concept of someone in "OCD" making an altar server training video. Overall though, definitely a good video.

Apotheoun Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 Hmm. . . a gender-neutral altar boy. There is something wrong about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Formosus Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 I don't see anything wrong with older men altar serving. I guess in those cases they should be ordained to Sub-diaconate though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
