10 Things You Didn't Know About Catholic Vestments | The Catholic Talk Show

[@matthewordille5367]

My first child is very close to being born, please pray for the health of my child and my wife. Also, love this channel and you guys! Thank you!

[@CatholicTalkShow]

We’re praying for you, your wife, and your child!

[@phillipkapler8319]

Been there. Don't want to scare you, but you will be almost as anxious as birth approaches with any additional children - Dad's worry. My kids make fun of my worries and cautions, and my pat response is "But you're still alive, aren't you?" A Hail Mary to You & Yours. Rejoicing with you. You are never alone on this project. Bless your Baby and consecrate his or her constant care to St. Joseph and the Blessed Mother.

[@suehopkins8603]

That's a lot of layers! No wonder Father keeps the church so cold at our parish.

[@danielmigneault8413]

LOL...Depending on the size of the church, the heating costs during the winter can vary. Here in Canada in an average size church it cost about 10 thousand a month to heat the church in winter. It all depends on the parish donations to pay the bills.

[@suehopkins8603]

@@danielmigneault8413 I totally understand Daniel! It's the air conditioning in the summer that freezes me, but at least I know why now! God bless.

[@steventrosiek2623]

You think these vestments are hot, try Byzantine Rite style. Like a roast oven.

[@alyce-kayruckelshaus1224]

Our priest wears layers of robes ALL the time. I sweat just looking at him. It reminds me to pray for him.

[@empea3837]

@Sue Hopkins Thanks for the chuckle ☺️.

[@laurar3937]

I came into the church in 2010. When it got close to time for us to be received into the church, our priest explained all of the details of the priest’s garments. I love this refresher.

[@antoniolen-rios8482]

The chasuble is made of a seamless garment, as an additional sign that the priest is alter Christi. The dalmatics worn by deacons have two seams going down the front (often covered with decoration these days).

[@JMJILYSS]

The touching to the head and the wrapping of the amice while saying the prescribed prayer calls to mind when Jewish men do a similar motion with their tallit (prayer shawl) as they prepare for prayer. I can just picture our Lord doing the same as he prepared to pray in the temple. The link between Judaism and Catholicism is so beautiful!

[@AniyuAsh]

I attend the TLM, and I'm so excited for when the time comes for the black vestments, because they're honestly so beautiful

[@Pluscelamemechose]

This is so fantastic. Our church needs new vestments, and we are in the islands! I looked up the company you mentioned, and they are very affordable. I've already share a link with one of our priests.

[@MoonlightNothing]

Boys will be Boys. God bless your sweet disposition and patience Fr. Rich. Excellent Show!

[@monicabermea7652]

I'm glad you made this show. There's so many questions people ask including myself. I'm proud of your show. God bless you all.

[@thomaspeacock7248]

My Polish Pastor wore a very ornate, almost emerald green chasuble with gold trim down the center. He also wore a very ornate alb with several inches of lace on the sleeves and hem.

[@josephzammit8483]

Although basically all Church vestments are the same, but then you find a range of varieties from to time, and from one country to another. I’m publishing a weekly KZbin video on episodes from the life of Don Bosco, entitled ST JOHN BOSCO by JOE ZAMMIT. In this series I’m narrating events and miracles from the splendid life of Don Bosco. St John Bosco used to perform a miracle almost every day, through the intercession of Mary Help of Christians. From the lives of saints we can learn how to love God more and draw closer to him. Thank you.

[@SarahBaer-wd7iq]

Splendily dressed

[@conniebania3910]

Kindly pray for my eyes that I can see better, and to protect my entire family from any kind of danger, so that we are always safe every minute.thank you

[@traceyhudson4188]

LOVE! LOVE! LOVE! THE RED VESTMENT~ i HAVE NEVER SEEN A BLACK VESTMENT- I LOVE THE WAY YOU USE IT TO HELP CELEBRATE THE PROMISES OF CHRIST. THANK YOU FOR EXPLAINING THE VESTMENTS VERY INFORMATIVE AND FUN.

[@splinterbyrd]

I love Bishop Fulton Sheen's story about vestments. He was staying at a smart hotel somewhere for a conference, and when he went up to his room the first night he found it was twin-bedded. His pajamas had been neatly folded on one bed, and his clerical dress was laid out on the other. Think about it. 🙂

[@mariaguglielmino2166]

I knew about the colors but everything eles was new to me. I have never seen a black vestment. Fr. Rich you make a great model. Love you.

[@maricellocsin5927]

GOD bless you, too Father. Also, your companions. Thank you Catholic Talk Show.

[@betsybattles2696]

I like seeing Priests in a Cassock. It makes him so much less worldly looking.

[@josephzammit8483]

[@timothyfreeman97]

In newtown, a very secular and promiscuous city in Sydney, there's a priest who stands by his Church always wearing a cassock. He's a fairly burly man as well, so the long black garment draping over his frame makes him stand out like a Lion amongst hyenas. All of the tiktok lgbtq affirming liberal girls and male girls quiver with fear at the sight of him.

[@nelidarivera5463]

Thank you for such important information in all your programs, especially this one. I still wish there was less joking and no interrupting each other.

[@Erykja]

In Poland almost every priest wear cassock

[@nancyyoung7378]

I thoroughly enjoyed watching this episode! The history of the vestments has always fascinated me. In my younger, healthier days, I actually would assist in the creation of some wonderfully made vestments!

[@carolhensen8005]

You’re lace is beautiful on the Alb……plus on the Altar…..old school Catholic …..to each his own as you said Father Rich…🙏♥️

[@rah1721]

I'm surprised you didn't show us the cope. It is a pity that Catholic priests don't seem to don copes any longer....though the Anglican priests often wear it for Evensong/Evening Prayer/Vespers/Compline.

[@davidbraun6209]

A purple cope and stole were de rigueur for the Great Vigil until near midnight, when, after the first half of the litany of the saints (after the OT readings) the sacred ministers returned to the priest's sacristy, the priest changed to full white Mass vestments and all returned from the sacristy to the sanctuary to do the Gloria in Excelsis, the Epistle, Gospel, homily, and the 2d half of the litany of the saints and the blessing of baptismal water, after which Mass resumed. (That was in the old rite.)

[@princessxena3274]

God bless everyone

[@piarere]

We should have had Fr.Rich turn up in one of his black vestments in the met gala, that would outgun all the ladies in scantly clad clothes with a holy presence in their midst

[@craftybarb6220]

I've always wanted to know all this. So pleased I've found a lot of Catholic talks. Plus The Chosen..

[@maureen-paulbarnes-vonkulm480]

The problem for many people is that they don’t understand all the vestiary symbolism. It would just look like a love of extravagance.

[@myrnagrijalva7271]

Wow, beautiful vestments. Father, you are fashionista!

[@hankfacer7098]

What a wonderful video. As a cradle Catholic, Altar Boy & Acolyte (retired) this video taught me heaps. Tahnk you all & God Bless.

[@MC-pl3vs]

I learn so much every show. Thank you all for sharing your love of our Catholic faith. All of your vestments are beautiful Father and I know you love our Lord, Our Blessed Mother, The Holy Spirit and God our Father. We are blessed to have you as our Pastor.

[@KG004]

Thank you. I knew the colors meant something but it is good to know what that is. This kind of knowledge, especially knowing the priest has a pray with each garment, will actually help me focus at Mass.

[@madelineprotocollo7173]

I am a public school catholic. LOL! Thank you for all the knowledge that you share. There are so many things I never knew. I really enjoy your show.

[@maecameron1115]

I have worked in choirs and directed the youth.This is a fantastic program to show our young folks and even our 30* people parishioners things that they might have forgotten or never knew.even the respect that they should know about entering the sacristy to say hi to Father. Good job...

[@guzelguzel6481]

"Real men wear lace" 😂🤣😂 ㅎㅎㅋㅋㅋ (×_×) It's true that some groups like the ICKSP use lots of it. I've got to say that I used to despise lace but I've learned to appreciate it. I love my veils.

[@joan5856]

I found my 1st Missel. It is possibly 80 years old The maniple was worn at every mass. The Chasuble all like the second style you put on. the that are like a cloak were Post second Vatigan Council.

[@helenemmahall6851]

Great Father, may you be Blessed by the Father, Son and Holy Ghost.

[@ufoundwaldo5995]

Excellent camera work as each layer was added. On a serious note, this was very interesting information Awesome!

[@theresastubblefield5706]

Priests are going back to wearing the cassock and black vestments, I have noticed especially the last 10 years or so! So neat!!

[@chrisdobrowolski2783]

I have never seen black worn in a Catholic Church in the USA but I have seen 2 times rose worn by the preist.

[@StevePetrica]

Seems to me that the cassock is traditionally the priest's street clothing -- not a vestment, per se. Therefore, a white cassock is not interchangeable with an alb, and even in tropical areas, an alb would still be required.

[@josephinepongdad3947]

Wooow.what a great episode we have today so that the people will be aware of the significance of every priest's vestments. You look so great Padre..God bless u and protect you from any stain of sin so that you remain faithful in shepherding your flock towards the narrow gate that leads to God's kingdom..Amen

[@giovan887]

Good morning god bless 🙏✝️❤️🕊️

[@KSTrekker]

"Die to self" - I love that about Priests and Nuns! Such a departure from the slick suits I grew up seeing in my Protestant church. I work in Wall Street and some of the suits I've seen Bible Belt preachers wear would make a Goldman Sachs trader look tawdry.

[@user-br4gr1cq9v]

0:35 Please share your thoughts about Catholic women bringing back the wearing of a veil during mass . I would love to see this old tradition return. (I think it ended in 1983)

[@redheadedandblessed8061]

I wish the Priest would have discussed the Stole (symbolic) purpose meaning the reference to Yoking with Christ so the burden is easier and the fact that the Priest Kisses the Cross on the back of the Stole to remind him of this each time he puts the Stole on.

[@richardmagale8405]

Very VERY COOL!

[@normacindy7226]

The black vestments are so beautiful!

[@YaneMarieSleppy]

I usually listen to TCTS podcasts but thought this particular episode would be more pertinent if viewed. I wasn't wrong.

[@karijaure8434]

I've always wondered how Holy Fathers could wear all that gear. I have always been a warm person. I wore a tie for a benefit and it was so hot! I don't know how men wear suits and ties.This was excellent! Thank you very much. 😇

[@danielmigneault8413]

Very educational for me.

[@elsamatiwas6731]

Thank you God bless you father

[@mariediphillipo3388]

Nice show interesting appreciate the meaning of the vestments

[@rosalindafontes7653]

Great episode! I loved that Fr. Rich modeled the vestments for us! Also, as a side comment, I have seen priests were one more colour for the vestments: blue. And they use it for the big Marian feasts. God bless all the people from the Catholic Talk Show! Thank you for the episode :)

[@user-zt7gd8yi3b]

Beautiful Pastor 🙏

[@ceciliasellers4190]

Thank you so much Father Rich, Ryan and Ryan for showing this. I really enjoyed watching ! God bless !

[@micheleziegler8930]

I love this show!! I learn so much with every episode. With each episode I fall more in love with being a Catholic.

[@captainnes8520]

Another great episode guys.. seriously! All the prayers that follow along with the preparation is soo beautiful!! 💪💪😃👍👍

[@nocturne2029]

WOAH those red vestments are out of this world! Talk about beauty that draws the eyes and soul upward to God!

[@anthonykaiser974]

Hooray for black vestments!

[@helenbissolati4399]

Thanks for the show very interesting

[@LuzianJ]

15:30 so that's why our priests wear white cassocks. I've always wondered why they don't wear the typical black.

[@RX7FDfreak]

Awesome video

[@proudcatholic4680]

Very informative

[@Pluscelamemechose]

Can you get them made in linen? Is there a pattern?

[@deborahmartinez5827]

That was very informative. Thank you!

[@kindredtheembraced]

Great show! Loved seeing what a priest wears, and so much more goes into it than expected. Great job Fr. Rich!

[@empea3837]

Sooo good 😊. Thank you.

[@random4576890]

You didn't mention that you can also wear black vestments on the feast of the Holy Souls (2nd November).

[@markkirkland561]

Very interesting. I am a Traditional Episcopalian and I thought we were the only ones who wore black anymore. Good Friday, All Souls’ Day and funerals. Love your show.

[@chelafraide6227]

Thanks so much for the beautiful explanation. 👏🏽👍🏽 I love the richness of our Catholic CHurch everything has a meaning y a purpose. God bless all 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🌺🕊🌺

[@thegrindeveryday9408]

Bro can I be a priest just for the swag? Or is that frowned upon?

[@metanoia1122]

Excellent episode. Thank you! Question: are there stoles colored green, black, rose, or red to match the color of the chasuble?

[@nancyjanzen5676]

Yes

[@itsnando20]

Absolutely!!! They also typically come with the chasuble so the stole matches the exact color and design of the chasuble

[@ivorybow]

This was wonderful. I never questioned the vestments before, and this was such a valuable education. My church clergy are Capuchin Franciscans, so they wear brown robes, sandals, and rope belts. I love it all...the vestments, the habits, the incense, the art, the music, all create a beautiful and rich space that it not the outside world. For the time I am there, I feel I am in Heaven

[@aureliacardiff5165]

I thought Laetare meant "rejoice" not "praise" ? Very nice as Top Model Father! 😉😉😉

[@BlessedisShe]

Really enjoy your videos!

[@janicemielke7702]

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU! Finally someone explained the vestments. I’ve always wanted to know. Please explain the coverings over the chalice, and everything on the alter.

[@thomasfolio7931]

Interesting information on the stole when a priest (and I'm guessing a deacon) who is serving at Mass. Since I was raised with the EF, and while I accept the OF, any cleric including a cardinal (and should it occur a Pope) who was in the role of an acolyte, serving wears a simple cassock (color of his office) and surplus, but no other insignias of his office (except the episcopal ring, or if he has a doctorate in Theology that ring) no pectoral cross, or anything else. Clerics in choir (the space in the sanctuary, not necessarily singing the Propers and ordinary parts of the mass) would don the stole either from the start of the Mass, or during the Canon until after communion and reposing the Most Blessed Sacrament in the Tabernacle, depending on the local custom. In the Byzantine Rite unlike the Latin Rite, a cleric does not sub for anyone else. So while in the EF a priest may take the role of a Deacon or Sub-Deacon for a Solemn High Mass. In the East if there is no deacon, then there is none and a priest or bishop in the absence of the deacon would sing those liturgical parts of the Liturgy as well as the censing. In the OF the Latin Rite has come back to this practice. None are wrong, just different rubrics which have developed over the centuries. While I've yet to be asked to offer the OF, and have only offered the EF and Byzantine Rites, I do sometimes attend and assist at Diocesan functions like ordinations etc., and dress in Cassock Surplus and Stole, taking my place with other priests and deacons in the choir. In some of the older missions on American Indian Reservations in Arizona and New Mexico, where they still utilize the indults given to Spanish and Portuguese priests, I've been vested in Blue Vestments on feasts of our Lady.

[@georgeadams1853]

I was a bit surprised that a maniple was not worn along with the fiddleback chasuble. And, what is the significance of the priest and deacon kissing their stoles before putting them on?

[@AI-hx3fx]

Same it looks like something's missing! I'll let the stole uncrossed pass, though.

[@chrisdobrowolski2783]

Maniple is not required for the Catholic Church any more.

[@maggiedavis8377]

Love you guys and this show. I am literally addicted and love to learn more about my faith along the way. Fr. Rich you are right up there with Fr. Mike Schmitz. I don’t care what those other 2 guys say! 😁

[@bookwoman53]

This year on September 11, our deacon wore a camouflage vestment with a cross embroidered on the front. He’s a former policeman.

[@eisuszaid-serolf261]

Why do you guys have Nacho Libre/Jack Black in the background? 😂😂

[@MoonlightNothing]

I love the lace.

[@glorialopez9447]

Thanks for showing us the reasons for wearing the different vestments. I am catholic and still learning about things I never questioned. I really enjoy your show, God bless.

[@MsLovieGirl]

Great show for those of us who are new to the Catholic Church. Praise God for these guys!

[@ruok9c]

Eastern Catholic priests wear a different kind of chasuble. I forgot the name of it but it looks like a cape with a hood, and it has a gold fastener at the neck.

[@simonewilliams7224]

I was put off a bit at first with your choice of heavy metal music with your intro but glad I stuck it out to reap the many benefits of your podcasts. You give such fact filled instructional info for all Catholics to know details and traditions of our faith. Thank you. I’m always looking forward to your next post.

[@alyce-kayruckelshaus1224]

I've been waiting for this one! I know all those pieces of clothing must mean something, but don't feel right asking my priest to show me his wardrobe. :-) I feel like I've been missing out because I don't know what they mean. This was soooo interesting. Thank you so much for doing this! Now I know that my priest isn't just a clothes horse.

[@annenelson5656]

Interesting show! Thanks you guys 😻

[@joetrombatore5704]

👍 Thank U Father that was very informative.Are the vestments Blessed ? If not why? This show gives me a great appreciation for our Catholic church.Thanks to all 3 of U.

[@carmenlewis7040]

Thank you for doing this I always wondered about it and now have a better understanding. Love the classic way of the vestments. Love this show

[@daishoo]

Also, the amictus should be first touched to the top of the head before resting upon the shoulders, and it is done at the time the priest says "helm of salvation". And the stole should be worn crossed over the chest.

[@michaelsuperstar606]

I was looking for meanings.

[@datupangurraider7812]

Thanks✌️⚔️✌️⚔️✌️🙏

[@sieglindesidorski7819]

In my country there was the church cold all the time! Only the priest had a space heater next to the altar! We sang a lot kept the blood circulation up 😆

[@keelyveale7712]

Really enjoyed this one! So nice to hear the meanings of them all 🥰😍 Amazing 😇🙏

[@nategraham6946]

Thank you for the modelling. Very educational video. I'm not Catholic, and never will be, but I appreciate the different colors for different seasons and occasions. I may get an actual vest of each color.
