Title: question on Mass
Post by: jman123 on January 24, 2014, 08:56:34 PM

For those that have been in trad chapels that have daily Mass I would like to know how Masses are said when there is very inclement weather like blizzards and there's no servers. Have you seen what happened ? If so what usually happens?  Does Mass still go on?

Really how essential are servers in low Mass anyway?

 :incense:
Father says the responses in an undertone or whisper.  Mass is offered no matter what.  A server is not necessary at a private Mass.  Sometimes, if there is a man present who knows the responses, but not how to serve, he may say them from the front pew or while kneeling at the Communion rail.

About 4 years ago my country was snowed under in a massive weather emergency.
There was lots of snow everywhere. I still went to Latin mass because it was a holy day.
The priest said it was all the diehards who had shown up in his sermon.
Mass went on no matter what.
