Whats the relationship with an alterserver, and a priest. Meaning what does an server do for him? Do you have to be one to become a priest?

Altar servers act in place of deacons & subdeacons at the TLM–incensing, giving the priest water to wash his hands, holding up the edges of the chasuble at the Consecration & for genuflections, etc. One doesn’t have to be one to enter seminary, though reportedly it can often encourage a boy to consider a priestly vocation, since he works with the priest “behind the scenes” setting up for Mass and gets to see Mass up close, from the sanctuary.

Well, it’s certainly helping this overgrown boy have a good think about his future!
