SCAP is an abbreviation of the book “Sunday Celebration in the Absence of a Priest.” Sorry you have not read it. It has become necessary because of the lack of vocations. I am not going to argue with you. I do believe all people who try their best to fill in,where clergy or religious are not able to be, are important. We can agree to disagree. May God bless them and you.

I’m not sure what sort of “book” you are referring to, but the actual Church approved rubrics for the *Rite of Distributing Holy Communion outside Mass with the Celebration of the Word *(AKA “communion service”) can be found in the volume Holy Communion and Worship of the Eucharist Outside Mass.

This ritual has existed for quite some time…

I didn’t expect a retort from the “deacon” on this one…

BonnieBj:
What are the requirements and training to become an acolyte (the first of the Holy Orders, I believe)?

I thought Acolyte was the term Protestants use for Altarboy?
 
I think my wife started this thread because I’ve been joking that after I enter the Church at the Easter Vigil Mass, I want to become an altar boy. Start catching up on what I’ve missed by not being Catholic all my life.

Not bitter in the least. I’m just intolerant of inaccurate or perhaps in your case, incomplete answers. The official ritual/rubrics for “communion services” or the *Rite of Distributing Holy Communion outside Mass with the Celebration of the Word *(AKA “communion service”) is located in the volume *Holy Communion and Worship of the Eucharist Outside Mass. *While what you suggest may indeed be “in line with Rome” it’s not the official ritual from the Church.

And in my best impersination of the arrogant tone you presented earlier I’ll add “I’m sorry you have not read it” and that there is a need for lay-led “services” due to the shortage of priests – sorry if you were not aware of that either.
