I am currently the Master of Ceremonies for a Catholic student community, which role has made me intimately familiar with the Ordinary Form of the Mass. My knowledge of the Extraordinary Form is somewhat hazier, but I do not plan on remaining ignorant for long.





Finally, I am a member of the Guild of St Stephen, an altar serving guild founded in the first years of the last century in England. As much as its current state is more or less to give altar servers a medal whether their conduct on the altar has warranted it or not, its stated aims have always been to encourage the highest standards of serving and to give the servers a greater understanding of what they are doing.

This blog is a place for me to throw up thoughts I have about the liturgy. I have been an altar server for most of my life and have no plans to stop, so these thoughts just keep coming.
