I was out of town today and attended a Spanish mass. I dont understand Spanish.
Toward the end, a family (several adults and some children) was brought to the alter for some type of small ceremony, but it was not a baptism.
After the ceremony, the priest led the congregation in a round of applause.
What happened?
Also, large numbers of kids went through the communion line and received a blessing from the Priest or Deacon, which I thought was cool.
I cannot recall ever seeing this in an English Mass. Can extraordinary eucharistic ministers give this blessing?
