Needing some help with communion issue

[anp1215]

yesterday was the second and last of the first communion classes to recieve.God truly stepped in for the timid spanish priest stood up and two days ago finished the requirements the 3 children that were going to be excluded by the dre and pastor and insisted they join their class in receiving.

Then with the backup of the music director DID include a spanish hymn during communion

the dre was furious.He came 10 minutes before mass was to start and he had all the seat arrangements and programs,so we 3 helpers had to hurry.
On top of this,the servers never showed,so one of the teacher helpers pinched in(a mystery as to why they did not come)
the lector helper also did not show----so we 3 banded together and insisted the dre do it since he surprisingly had all this person’s liturgy parts for the children to do.
I was ignored by the dre and pastor and banished to the music area by his helper.
The dre had a scowl on the entire time(twill be on the video)
The spanish priest did the homily and part of the consecration in spanish.
the videographer asked the dre why he was so angry afterwards—he said to him—it’s not the kids that infuriate me–it’s the adults here and walked away.
Bottom line—the kids were happy and the parents were thrilled despite the glitches.The weather was gorgeous.The spanish priest for the first time stayed after mass to greet families,take pictures,bless rosaries,etc

God smiled on us and i am thankful!:heaven:

It’s not the parishioners job to “convert” the priest and the parish. I do think IF you choose to stay I would inform the Bishop. He needs to know what’s going on in that parish. Especially since you indicated there is a Spanish speaking priest there, no excuse for what’s happening at all.

It is up to the Bishop to correct all the mistakes in the Parish.
We, laypersons, are not just a decoration.
We are the Church of God.
