Reviews

This guide for altar servers is clear and concise. That it is not only a how to' but also a wonderful explanation of the meaning and importance of having young women and men participate in liturgy as leaders of and an example for the assembly is much appreciated. It is in a language that young people will readily understand. I think this is a valuable practical booklet to assist in the formation of young people for this ministry and an encouragement for their participation in future liturgical ministries.Msgr. Kenneth Hedrick, Director, Office of Worship, Archdiocese of New Orleans
