Bishop Michael Martin of Charlotte has issued a series of new liturgical directives for Masses celebrated in the three Catholic high schools under his jurisdiction.

The Catholic Herald previously reported on the recent ban of the altar rails in a Charlotte Catholic high school, to which the bishop has now added further provisions governing school liturgies, according to latest reports.

The measures include a prohibition on the use of kneelers and communion rails during the distribution of Holy Communion. Students will also be required to act as extraordinary ministers during the Eucharist at school liturgies, according to reports from Rotare Caeli.
