    Hi guys,
    Thank you for sharing this information with your patrons/patreons as most of us would never know about these vessels in the course of our lifetime. It was nice having names put to them and since girls are not altar servers I never had a chance to be around them at Mass.

    Why aren’t there any female servers is a good question?

    Fr. Rich it shows how much you love your vocation and we appreciate it and thank you.

      In Melbourne, Australia, at Our Lady of the Nativity Aberfeldie in 1990’s and 2000’s both my daughters, Cait and Louise, were altar servers- a common occurrence in the archdiocese.

      Can you please address some of the issues that have been happening with the Church such as more sexual abuse cases in France and the lack of apology from the Pope to indigenous people’s in Canada for the murder of children in the residential schools. I came into the Catholic faith a few years ago and these issues which I thought the church had made amends for continues And there seems to be a lack of responsibility by hiding it or not giving the apology which is well needed.

    Great show! Every Catholic needs to know this! When I taught religious education, I had 2nd graders. My objective was to prepare for First Confession & First Eucharist. I asked the parish priest if there were old vessels I could use in class. Graciously, Fr. Barry loaned me a chalice, ciborium, pyx, corporal & purificator. Having those sacred items really helped the kids learn usage & reverence. When a new priest came to the parish, he wanted the worn vessels replated as they were beautiful. The chalice was very similar to the one you showed. It was at that time my parents died, I offered to pay for the replating of those vessels in their honor. I love knowing those vessels have returned to being used on the altar for the entire church body. Again, great show!
