An unnamed priest in the Philippines was suspended by the Diocese of San Pablo after he was caught on video using a hoverboard during Christmas Eve Mass.

According to the Rappler, the priest glided through the center aisle before the final blessing and was suspended Tuesday for an indefinite amount of time.

The priest called the incident and suspension as a "wake-up call" while apologizing and saying it won't happen again.

In a statement, the diocese said Mass "is not a personal celebration where one can capriciously introduce something to get the attention of the people."
