Our parish priest will only have boys serve but the huge church down the road has mostly girls. I only go there a couple times a year when Holy Day Mass times are in conflict with work schedules, etc. I’ve never seen a boy on the altar at the big church. The homilies sound like they came from a psychiatrist’s self help blog or something. I keep wishing that my priest could be loaned out for a month so he could reach all of those Catholics. They’d be shocked to the core at his amazing ability to teach the faith. I imagine there would be a few complaints, too. :0) I love my priest! So blessed to have him so close to our new home!
Liberal priests that never speak of sin in homilies are the ones most likely to have altar girls. Priests who take their vocation seriously and really want to preach the word of God have altar boys, the way it was meant to be. Girls can never be priests so why make them altar servers. Makes no sense.
