"I disagree…. Duration of masses are 1:30mins to 2hrs max if there are a lot of thanksgivings. In my church here, every seats do have hymn books too and our offertory is passed around.. we don’t stand up."

Thelma said:

"So why are you disagreeing now. Are you there? Did she talk about your parish? every parish is different and it's based on lots of factors, no 1 being location."

Pc said:

"Same experience here…the other ppl giving communion are Eucharistic ministers. We have them in Nigeria too and in some parish they wear uniforms."

SIXTUS said:

"Mass 2hrs and above in nigeria? I think it occasionally. My church too use to have a hymn book for the congregation. But maintenance is the issue though."
