    Is an RCIA Catechumen required to participate in Easter Vigil mass?

    I know of someone who is a Catechumen in their 20s who has been missing quite a few classes for RCIA, and assume they have to make them up when they have time. Realizing that Easter Vigil is coming up, I also assume they cannot go to the Easter Vigil Mass to receive the sacraments until RCIA...

    Annulments: Why does a Catholic Church Court need to determine whether the marriage was invalid?

    Can you help me understand why the Catholic Church Court needs to determine whether the marriage was invalid to annul the marriage? Could you say something along the lines of priests were given authority by Jesus for the other Sacraments: (a) Reconciliation, (b) Holy Orders, (c) Communion, (d)...

    Prayer: Being persistent or leaving it in God's hands?

    No matter what it is (e.g., conversion, healing), is it better to be persistent in prayer or pray once for it and leave it in God’s hands? I’ve heard different things, and I don’t know if both are fine. I know God wants us to be prophets, and become saints, so in that case, I think being...

    Altar Server & Tabernacle

    During the distribution of the Eucharist at daily mass, the priest ran low, and needed more. So he asked my fellow altar server to go the tabernacle to get more and bring it to him. What’s the church’s teaching on this, and was this wrong?

    Purification of Vessels after Communion

    What’s the church’s teaching on purification after communion? The priest is supposed to do this, correct? If he does the purification after communion, it should be fine; but what happens if the priest does not purify? Can the altar server do this after mass?

    Fracturing of Bread during consecration

    When I was serving mass the other day, I noticed the priest fractured the Bread during the consecration when he said, “…He broke the bread”. What is the church’s teaching on this? Has this been done before? This is the first time I’ve seen it happen. Would this be illicit, but still valid?
