Catholic Priest Suspended After Riding Hoverboard During Mass [Photo/Video]

A Filipino priest has been condemned by diocese authorities after a video of him gliding on a segway inside a church during a Christmas Eve service went viral.

Father Albert San Jose can be seen zooming in and out of rows of churchgoers while singing a Christmas song in English and Tagalog.

Worshippers seemed to enjoy the performance, with many taking photos and videos.

But his bosses condemned the incident and said it was a violation of the "highest form of worship".

The Roman Catholic Diocese of San Pablo said in a statement on its Facebook page: "The priest said that it was a wake up call for him; he acknowledged that his action was not right and promised that it will not happen again."

"He will be out of the parish and will spend some time to reflect on this past event. He would like to apologise for what happened."
