Comments

Due to the lack of comments on the blog, I'm opening up the field so that anyone can comment. The catch is that I'll be moderating all comments before they're posted due to the nature of our young and innocent audience.

Comment away!

All Glory to God

Awesome job everyone!!! I got to spend a few minutes quickly going through some of the video of the Missa Cantata tonight. Everyone did so well. Fr. Reid was very pleased and joyous. Servers, as you continue to serve and glorify the Lord, more and more grace abounds for so many.

Parents, thank you for your support and efforts. Tonight would not have been possible without you.

I've got to work for the next three days, so no posts until Monday. No practice this coming Monday. I'll post the schedules next week for the summer. I'm very excited about bringing the Seraphim on board as we combine the groups.

Again, excellent job everyone.

Missa Canata Home Stretch

Hello all,

Sorry for the major delays in posting. I'm moving on a lot of things. Here's the basics for right now:

• All servers meet at St. Ann's at 5:45pm to set up and go through a 20 minute run-through.
• There will not be any dinner or post-Mass happenings due to the need to simplify at this time. (Expect a party in the near future for all the hard work we've put in!)
• Due to the seminarians and priests attending, I'll need to have time to prepare them for their rubrics prior to the start of Mass, so I'll need help getting ready so that I have time for them.
• There has been a major change for Communion for Ac's, Th, and Bb. No changes for Tb's. More info on that later.
• Stay tuned today. More info to come.

Back to work

I hope everyone is enjoying the the Easter Octave. Tonight's MEF was great. Joseph and Luke Bruck did a good job serving and the Liturgy flowed smoothly. Now that the the Paschal season has begun, expect posts to continue regularly.

Jesus Christ is risen; Alleluia!

Going Public

With limited feedback, the decision for this blog is to go public. So here's how things will work:

• Anyone and everyone can see the blog.
• Anyone who is registered with Blogger can comment.
• All comments will be moderated before posting.

Those I talked with agreed that the resources this blog will provide would be beneficial to many in our Diocese and elsewhere. As long as the volume of comments are reasonable, I can ensure a safe environment for families, children, and those striving for holiness.

Thanks to everyone who shared their thoughts, and thanks to everyone for their patience as the blog is continuously developed.

In nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritus Sancti. Amen.

Welcome to the St. Ann's MEF servers blog. Due to the large amount of information and resources necessary to instruct, educate, and catechize the young men serving at St. Ann's, a demand grew for a organized method of communication. This blog will serve as a supplement to the formation these young men receive.


The first test run of this blog will be a couple of questions posed to the parents of the servers:

• Right now, this blog will be only viewable to those invited. Comments made on posts will only be from invited members. Should the blog be available to the public?
• If the blog is available to the public, should only members be allowed to comment?

Fr. Reid will have the final say on everything, but input from the parents are crucial in making such decision.
