I know alot of very religious children. I was one, and still am very, very religious today. I am trying to find the name of a saint the I once saw a statue of. He was wearing a red cassock, and surplice. So basically he was wearing an acolyte habit. It isn’t the little altar boy asking for tithes, no. Could someone help me? I can’t think of his name.
Also, isn’t it a great thing to hear a child say “When I grow up, I wanna be a priest!”. One of Gods great gifts to certain children!

I would guess St. Dominic Savio, although the altar-boy depiction may not be the most common. Another guess would be St. Tarcisius.
 
There’s nothing that makes a red cassock and surplice an acolyte habit.

Bishops and certain other prelates are supposed to wear a red cassock under vestments.

Oh yes, I know. But I meant he was wearing what an acolyte would normally wear, I know the acolytes can now wear albs, and sometimes altar boys in a monastary usually wear an alternation of the monk or friars habit. Now, if it is a monastary of Nuns, well I suppose they wear the Black Cassock, collar, and Surplice. I have seen a few altar boys wear a clerical looking collar with the cassock and surplice. Also, some wear a eton-collar too.
 
My question is answered. It is St. Dominic Savio.
ORa Pro Nobis.
