    The priest again appeared invested as before, he turned on the altar and asked, "Is there anyone to serve this Mass," then the Parish Priest answered "yes spirit."
    Then the school teacher went up and served the Mass, and when the Mass was over the spirit said to the master, "you are the luckiest man in this world to be here to serve this Mass for I am coming here for the last forty years and could not find anyone to serve this Mass," and then he disappeared.
