Ain't this the truth!

History of Holy Family Church

In November 1966, the Lay Committee of Advisors for Temporalities was formed and the Parish Council and Board of Education were preparing to be activated. In December 1966, new lighting in the church was needed for the people to accompany the priest in Mass prayers. A pulpit was placed in the sanctuary apart from the altar for reading Scripture. A new sound system aided the people in hearing better the “Word of God.” Ecumenical Services were initiated with neighboring Christian Churches. All of the changes prescribed by the Second Vatican Council prompted this poem to appear in the Bulletin:

Latin’s gone, peace is too;

Singin’ and shoutin’ from every pew,

Altar’s turned around, priest is too;

Commentator’s yellin “Page 22”.

Communion rail’s going’, stand up straight!

Kneelin’ suddenly went out of date.

Processions are formin’ in every aisle;

Salvation’s organized single file.

Listen to the lector; hear how he reads;

Please stop rattlin’ those rosary beads

Padre’s lookin’ puzzled; doesn’t know his part

Used to know the whole deal in Latin by heart.

I hope all changes are just about done;

That they don’t drop Bingo before I’ve won.
