Martin may be interested to learn that they also occasionally start them young in “the colonies.” Jeff’s younger brother Alan also started at age five, serving with his three older brothers.

I’ve just come across your blog (via your work on colour management): great reading.

This post brought back memories of my days at the altar many years ago. We only entered training at about 9years and couldn’t do Mass solo until about 11. Typically Acolites (the candle bearers) were middle-rankers (13+). Of course, this was a large parish in the UK, so plenty of recruits. Seems they start them young “in the provinces”.

Guess my RSS reader loads the thing once and doesn’t refresh.

Ah, yes, that would explain it. RSS aggregators and search engines immortalize my every, many mistakes…. —Jeffrey

Very cute, although if Anthony is going to be an altar boy you should probably learn how to spell “altar”…….

My mom mentioned the same thing, and I fixed it about five hours before you added your comment. I guess you’d loaded the page prior to that, and it took that long just soaking up the overwhelming cuteness before you eventually got to the bottom to submit your comment? —Jeffrey

Loved your pictures. Enjoyed seeing the inside of your church. You and your wife must be so proud of him.

Actually, Aunt Marci is only half right. The wallpaper isn’t on my computer. I blew up each photo to 8 x lO feet and wallpapered the living room.

Wow. Aunt Marci melted too. I’m so proud of Anthony, I can’t stand it. And I’ll bet Grandma has some new wallpaper on her computer now.

Well,now, how am I ever going to get anything done today when I’ve just melted into a pile of grease? Anthony on the altar was just precious and reminds me of you doing the same all those years. I would have thought him too young, but looks like he did a fine job and your heart was probably just as full as mine was.

Incidentally, the grey background on this comment section makes it exceedingly hard to see the cursor. Beautiful post.

Yeah, you’re right about the comment box color. It turns out that you can’t control the cursor color with CSS, so I’ve gone ahead and darkend the background color for the comment box so that a white cursor is more easily seen, thanks! —Jeffy
