Kanang mag istorya sa simbahan.

O.T. Unsa diay imong religion bro?

Bitaw wa gyu'y ayo, ug kasagaran sa mga manimbahay sa simbahang katoliko mga bastos ug law-ay tan-awon ang gipangsul-ob, tungod tingali ni kay wa silay nakat-onan nga maayong pagtulun-an gikan niining maong simbahan.

kids definitely.. i think they should not be brought to to church if they cant be controlled. church is not a playground

I definitely agree. Been to a church in Auckland, NZ where they have a solution to this. At the onset of the mass- all the kids are brought to the altar to be blessed by the officiating priest. Then there was this woman who brought all the children to the rectory where they will all stay for the duration of the mass. The children were being read bible stories there and were only allowed back with the parents just before the blessing/end of the mass. We had a most peaceful and solemn mass.
I wish the churches here will also do the same. What do you think? Will this work here in our city/country?

@mango, these kids you're talking about actually have "sunday classes". the school they're enrolled with has an agreement with the church to hold sunday classes for specific grade schoolers. the time of said classes starts simultaneously with the mass and during offertory, the kids (line up) go back to where their parents are seated. parents usually attend mass with the same schedule as their kids' sunday classes. i don't think this will work in the Phils because of the sheer no. of kids at any given mass schedule.

there are actually churches where there are rooms fitted with see-thru glasses (sound-proof) specifically designed for families with small kids. it's situated behind the last row and fitted with speakers so you can hear the priest's voice clearly.

Twas not a Sunday - also the kids were separated from their parents at the onset of the Mass and they all go back to their parents not during offertory but at the end of the Mass na.Â* I don't know if we're talking bout the same church in NZ but I still see it as a possibility here if the parish will just assign some members maybe of the CWL or the like to watch over the kids.
It will only take an hour or less depending on the sermon of the priest and I'm quite sure they can have volunteers for it. Maybe parents can take turns.Â* In exchange everyone including the parents will only be too thankful and happy with no screaming babies and kids around.

other churchgoers, that's why i don't want to critisize them anymore and go to church, i'd rather go direct to HIM and not with some rock thinggie.
