Chapter 3

Server Latin

The Catholic’s Latin Instructor separates the parts of the Mass for the choir and congregation from the parts of the Mass for the altar servers.

The 1965/1970 changes to the Mass blurred the old layering of the Mass whereby servers and choir would focus on different prayers.

It’s still good for both groups to know both prayers, but for beginners it’s good to have a narrower focus on the vocabulary that will be most useful in each case.
