At the parish in Wilmington, DE that has two Tridentine low Masses a month, they have a High altar, but no altar rails. They reserve the front row for the distribution of Communion.

We have freestanding kneelers at the front of our church.

I asked my pastor if we were getting an altar rail during the renovations of our main going on right now.

He wouldn’t say, but hinted that, “We’re hoping for it.”

It's not very difficult to install an altar rail! Just need a good drill and case full of concrete bits!

. . . having just installed quite a bit of deck railing, I can tell you that once you noodle out the details the work goes VERY quickly!

**They reserve the front row for the distribution of Communion**

That’s an excellent suggestion. I like it.
