Question:

I just returned to Tucson Arizona last month. I visited my favorite catholic church- Holy Family on University Blvd. I was happily stunned by the major sanctuary overhaul since 1996- They built from scratch an entirely new reredo withe original tabernacle built into it with a High Altar (Old Mass with the approval the Bishop of the Diocese of Tucson, is celebrated every Sunday at 5 pm). They even made a rod-iron altar railing the entire span of the Sanctuary. I nearly broke out in rejoicing, my heart was full of joy!

Dear Michael,

Sounds good, thanks for the comments.

Footer Notes: (a) A Eucharistic Minister is clergy (Ordinary Ministers of Holy Communion). Laity are Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion and should never be called Eucharistic Ministers.

(b) There is no such Mass called the Novus Ordo. The Current Mass is the Roman Missal of 2000, or the Oridinary Form of the Mass. The Tridentine Mass is the Roman Missal of 1962, or the Extraordinary Form of the Mass. Please refrain from using the term, Novus Ordo. Thanks.

(c) The titles of Acolyte and Lector belong exclusively to the Installed Offices of Acolyte and Lector, who are men (only) appointed by the Bishop. These roles performed by others are Altar Servers and Readers, respectively.
