Q: At a large episcopal celebration, a priest wearing a cassock & surplice, functions as the master of ceremonies. After the Holy, Holy, Holy is sung, he dons a stole and ‘concelebrates’. After the ‘Our Father’, he removes the stole and continues to function as the master of ceremonies. Something isn’t correct.
Thoughts? Ideas? Suggestions?

A: Here’s a previous post about deacons: https://paulturner.org/deacon-vesture/. The same would apply to a priest serving as a master of ceremonies.
Furthermore, no priest may begin to concelebrate after Mass has begun (GIRM 206).
