Wonderful Training Material for New Servers

"The Knights of Columbus council at our church purchases the ""Called to Serve - a Guidebook for Altar Servers"" by Fr. Albert Nevins for our Altar Server Ministry for training new servers. We past a picture of our sanctuary, with all the items used at mass in the picture and labeled using a computer, on page 16. There are some errors on page 20 in the first two paragraphs that need be corrected with a pen. The new servers and their parents love this manual and it allows parents to help at home."

— Ron W. (5/5)
