Becoming an altar server is a wonderful rite of passage. At St. John, incoming fifth graders are trained and then they serve a week’s worth of daily masses at 7 am. In this way, they garner experience to serve at weekend masses starting in the sixth grade.
Father Tom is known for his sense of humor and he tries to put the rookies at ease. The daily mass attendees are so patient and kind as they watch the new servers grow into their jobs and gain confidence.
Mason and Pierce will be paired to serve all week. God bless them both.
Way to go, Mason!
