  • Did you ever wonder what faithful Catholic children did for fun back in the 1940s? This throwback cutouts booklet produced by Catholic Extension in 1943 might give you a clue.

    Meet Father Peter and Altar Boy Paul. Using the provided paper dolls and cutout vestments, children could help Father Peter dress properly for the celebration of Mass or the Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament in all its pre-Vatican II splendor. The instructions encouraged children to color the vestments appropriately for whichever liturgical season they would like to celebrate or to use the color for their patron saint's day.

    The article also includes descriptions of all the priestly paraphernalia that Fr. Peter and Altar Boy Paul would employ for Mass and the Benediction. From candlesticks, a missal and a monstrance to a host, a chalice and a paten, the cutouts are quite exhaustive and the accompanying information is quite educational. There's even a pop-up altar to assemble!

    If anyone says that true and natural water is not necessary for baptism and thus twists into some metaphor the words of our Lord Jesus Christ" Unless a man be born again of water and the Holy Spirit" (Jn 3:5) let him be anathema.
