And suddenly there came from the sky a noise like a strong driving wind, and it filled the entire house in which they were. And they were all filled with the holy Spirit and began to speak in different tongues, as the Spirit enabled them to proclaim. -The 3rd Glorious Mystery

Question from on 06-09-2007:

At Sunday Mass the chldren of the parish bring up the gifts and then
the priest allows them all to stay behind him during the consecration
and until the Mass is over, is this permitted or is it an abuse? I
spoke to other people about this and they said that the priests in
their parishes also do that. Thank you


Answer by Rev. Mark J. Gantley, JCL on 06-19-2007:

Just because a lot of parishes do something does not mean that it is right.

This is not permitted and is an abuse.

The priest might be doing this out of good intentions, but good intentions are not a sufficient
reason to adopt illicit practices.
