Description
For the traditional Latin Mass
This unique card can be used as:
- an easy training guide for learning or teaching the Latin responses
- or as a memory aid for the acolyte while serving

- Phonetics aligned under each Latin word (not strung out)
- Special responses when serving for a bishop
- Inline instructions for the gestures and reverences made with the responses
- Helpful cues for the altar server
- Rules on how the responses should be made
- List of common pronunciation mistakes made by English-speakers
- Panels specially arranged so card can be used while serving
- Easy to read typefaces and layout

REVIEWS
As a homeschooling mother of 4 boys, I highly value durability and quality when purchasing materials for my children. The Romanitas Press Servers Response Card is the best of the best. I have not found anything comparable on the market. The card stock is thick and will provide us with longevity. I am eager to pass this card down to my boys as they reach the age to serve at Mass.
I was so impressed with this response card that I purchased it for 14 boys who participate in my Catholic homeschool group. Our co-op meets once a week to discuss the history of the Mass, its meaning and how the acolytes ought to dispose themselves as a server. I love being able to utilize this response card to reinforce their proper pronunciation of Latin. Thank you for such a well put together resource. I especially appreciate the phonetic pronunciations. It is very easy to read and to teach. Teresa Prall

First, please allow me to thank you for the outstanding Server’s Mass Responses Card.
I’m 60 years old and a convert to the Church. About a year ago I had the enormous honor of learning to serve at the Altar as an Altar Boy!!! I never dreamed I’d be graced in such a way.
Fortunately, I discovered your Server’s Card and it made the memorization and pronunciation so much easier! Plus all the other information on the reverse of the card is so helpful.
I’ve ordered many additional cards to give to fledgling servers. Michael Bohy

The Server’s Mass Responses Cards are a great resource for traditional Latin Mass altar boys. We have used them for several months at St. Sebastian’s Roman Catholic Church in Akron, Ohio.
The altar boys have become more confident in their Latin responses, and a number of the boys use the cards… to practice at home.
Thank you for all that you do to assist in the celebration of the Tridentine Mass! Matthew Akers
