Servers' Mass Response Card

SERVERS' MASS RESPONSE CARD
a guide for the proper pronunciation of the Latin responses

AN EASY-TO-USE training guide for teaching the proper liturgical pronunciation of the Latin responses made by the altar server at Mass.

The card's exterior partitions contain the Latin responses with their corresponding English phonetic renderings per the more romano (like the Romans) liturgical pronunciation as endorsed by Popes St. Pius X, Benedict XV, and Pius XI.

Also included are expanded rubrical instructions for the liturgical gestures and reverences made in connection with the responses, and the responses made when serving for a bishop. The layout of the exterior partitions was carefully arranged to allow card’s use at the altar if necessary.

The card’s inside partitions contain helpful explanations and basic rules about making the responses, more romano pronunciation, a list of common pronunciation mistakes made by English-speakers, and even several informative and authoritative footnotes.

Red and black text was printed on heavy matte paper stock (to keep the card stiff when being held), then coated with a matte varnish to increase the anti-glare property and protect the card from moisture and frequent use.

Measures folded at 11 14/16" x 4¼" (folds out completely to 17” wide).

$5.00 each for individual orders*

$2.50 per card for bulk orders of 10 or more*

TESTIMONIES

These [cards] are very well done. The formatting is clear and easy to follow. The "The Liturgical Pronunciation of Latin" section is very well laid out and easy to read and understand as well.

You have done a very good thing by producing these cards. I hope this valuable resource eventually gets into the hands of every server of the Traditional Latin Mass. Derek Bonnell (www.churchlatin.com)
