OK - pic came out too small. They are all male, several are adult males.

Wow, that parish has a large number of Cardinals – and many seem to be dwarfs…

Hey Dr. Bombay,

Here’s a link for ya. Remember how ya told me if I put a girl in a cassock, you’d beat me with a paten? This gives me all the inspiration in the world. I especially like how she knows what the Gospel is!

“Alter people”???

Yes. For all those who still cling to the fantasy that there’s no agenda behind girl altar boys. Right. Putting a girl in a garment that makes her look strikingly like a priest. Of course, in many parishes where girl altar boys are prevalent, the priests don’t wear Roman collars anyway, and certainly not cassocks, so maybe people don’t make the connection. But I’m quite certain the people with insidious agendas make the connection.

She’s a cute girl. She’d be a lot cuter wearing something that didn’t make her look like a junior Cardinal-in-training.

At least we are no longer seeing the inaccurate “if girls didn’t serve, no one would” excuse in these forums as much as we did in the past.

Amen.

Ss Cyril & Methodius in the suburbs of Detroit also has a significant altar boy/man corp.

I think the number is around 120, the most in the archdiocese.

120, give or take, at one parish with no elementary school attached, and they are all males.

Hmmmmm…how many parishes without schools attached can boast of a program that large, that includes females?

If girls didn’t serve, more boys would!

Did you notice she said: “Then I strike the gong as father blesses the wine and bread.”

Are they in Siam or England? I have never heard of that here in my diocese. Anyone else?
