The ever increasing interest in the Liturgical Traditions of the Church
gives rise to the need for adequately trained altar servers and what
better way to assist than to resurrect this classic! This famous
handbook is an invaluable resource for all altar boys from beginning to
advanced. Though written for Instructors, this manual can also be used
for home study, schools and sacristies. Dom Matthew Britt begins by
offering specific instructions on common ceremonial actions, including
how to make the proper bow, how to light the candles, and how to carry
the Missal. He also walks the servers step-by-step through Low Mass
(with one or two servers), High Mass, Solemn High Masses, Nuptial and
Requiem Masses, Vespers and Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament.
Contains more than 24 diagrams showing the various actions and positions
of acolytes, Thurifer, Master of Ceremonies, Sub-Deacon, and Deacon.
Includes servers responses for the 1962 Latin Mass. How to Serve is a
brief and clear manual from 1934 that is simply the best book of its
kind. It will once again become the standard reference for acolytes,
handing on to young servers the disciplines necessary for reverent
Catholic ceremonies. Every altar boy "should realize that...he is, after
the priest, and in the absence of other priests or Sacred Ministers,
the closest one in the whole church to our Divine Savior in the Blessed
Sacrament. Occupying this very important position in his parish, an
Altar Boy's conduct should be exemplary at all times and in all places."
Rev. Joseph W. Kavanagh, author of The Altar Boys Ceremonial
