This one-of-a-kind 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

- 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

- Black and red text
- Heavy weight stock to keep card stiff while being held
