Father Albert San Jose,
Parish Priest Of Our Lady Of Miraculous Medal in Biñan, Laguna received some criticisms after his stunt near the end of his 11:00 PM mass on December 24, 2015.
He was serving mass on December 24, 11PM
when nearing the end, just right before the final blessing of the Christmas Eve mass, he sang a Christmas song while riding a hoverboard. The priest said he did not do it during his homily and called it new evangelization. People who attended his mass didn't think anything wrong with what he did. Some even found it cool but the Diocese Of San Pablo, Laguna issued a statement that it was wrong for him to do such a thing stating that the Eucharist is the Church's highest form of worship. “The Eucharist demands utmost respect and reverence. It is the Memorial of the Lord’s Sacrifice. It is the source and summit of Christian life,” “Consequently, it is not a personal celebration where one can capriciously introduce something to get the attention of the people.” Father Albert San Jose apologized for his mistake and promised not to do it again. And he will be out of the parish for a while to reflect on what happened. I, too personally found it extremely inappropriate and highly irreverent and disrespectful especially coming from somebody ordained to uphold the Sanctity Of The Ritual or the Holiness Of The Mass. And never at any time during the Holy Mass should be used for entertainment or amusement. All throughout should be for meditation, reflection, prayer, praise, worship, thanksgiving and the like.
