[MarkBsnr]

My daughter is an altar server at our parish. Most of the servers are female, as only a few boys volunteered. If this comes to pass, then c’est la vie. Our faith will accommodate the shifting ground.

My three eldest (daughter and two sons) who are eligible, serve. However, we are getting a new pastor next month (TLM qualified and fairly young) so that may change the game. Personally, I think that women should be excluded from serving at the altar, and that when the deacon is present at Mass, extraordinary ministers should not distribute the Blood.

It should be the two ordained who administer the distribution of the Eucharist.

Now, when the Communion rail is returned, along with the patens held by the servers, then I shall be excited.

You ought to see how many EMs are at our parish. It’s beyond ridiculous. 15 at every Mass distributing both elements of the Eucharist. I know Father is just trying to save time, but good grief! That’s an abuse, IMO.
