are punctuated by the well honed and fine tuned training our corps of altar
servers. Boys wishing to join this army of servers must be at least 10 years
old or in the fifth grade. They should register for training through the
parish office and will then be invited to attend training as new teams form
in the fall at the beginning of each new school year. For more
