Role of the Deacon at Mass

[@WiIICheck]

I’m applying for the Diaconate program at my diocese this winter. Pray for me that the Holy Spirit guides me to do His will as He commands, and do it well. Praise be to God.

[@buntalatv5276]

please post also on how deacons assist at other sacraments like nuptials, confirmation and ordination

[@buntalatv5276]

awesome and educational for permanent deacons

[@danevangelista6806]

Thanks for this instructional video

[@salsalvatierra]

Altar servers should not be placing anything at the altar during Mass. The Deacon should receive the items and place them at the altar.

Why is the deacon not kneeling for the elevation before communion?

[@1984Lazarus]

Thank you so much, this is really helpfull, may God bless you and your parish!! May I ask: why do you not wear the deacon stole or/ and the dalmatic? Greetings from the Netherlands :)

[@radohospodaroldaccount4037]

Greetings Mike! The reason is that the video was made as part of a diaconate formation program to practice the role of the deacon at a Mass a few weeks before the actual ordination.

Watch The Rome Boys Show as we "Interview a Deacon"! kzbin.info/www/bejne/j4izhoqHjpijsKc

[@sergiogonzalez736]

The deacon should be sitting on the right side of the priest

[@mulipolatuuumataafatiufeaa4964]

Of course

[@salsalvatierra]

This is not a Deacon as he is not wearing a stole. The cross bearer is not properly vested to carry a crucifix at a procession.

[@salsalvatierra]

There is no one at the pews, but others come to receive Eucharist at the altar? No need for emoch on all Mass

[@Sicilianus]

women altar server?

[@jpblk1172]

Deacon without a stole during the mass....😮

[@kevinlea1979]

Regards to the altar servers when they are standing and hands folded in prayer is this used for CoE and Catholic, reason I asked is that I am going to be an acolyte at a Cathedral which is an All Saints church not catholic.

[@seanpielli1161]

where's his stole? let alone a dalmatic

[@radohospodaroldaccount4037]

Let me point out that the video was recorded as a part of a prep class for future deacons and uploaded before the actual ordination. Thank you for your understanding!

[@MichalMati]

Why is the deacon holding his book when there are altar servers?

[@seanpielli1161]

the processional cross, candles, and (if used) incense take precedence before a server is assigned to carry the book of gospels. usually you don't have all 5 servers needed for that.

[@godwineojuki4726]

Its the duty of the Deacon to carry the book of the Gospel

[@salsalvatierra]

Please take down the video.

[@jondoe8036]

Female alter servers. What a shame. Thankfully my parish will not allow it

[@christiandahms8846]

@Georgie Castillo People like you obviously do not care for tradition. It was not until recent decades that girls could be altar servers. Also your sarcasm is vile and not to mention very childish

[@Beanbag777]

Boomer guitar music , altar girls , cheap vestments, sanctuary “banners” . Where is the deacons cincture and stole ??? This is disgraceful

[@orielriddle2005]

Female altar servers? No thanks!

[@dnznznfjsnsnsms9996]

This is so sacrilegious it's not even valid Mass

[@kyprianwojciechowski1843]

It's clearly a practice - made for educational purposes and I am sure he needed to record this for his formation program
