My parish has recently purchased Cassocks and Surplices for our altar servers. The Altar Society ladies have graciously agreed to wash them up for us so that we can, God willing, use them for Christmas. There is still a box that we have yet to receive at the office, but it's a great thing to know that we have people who are willing to help in such efforts.
As a child, even as a younger man than I am now, I didn't realize how much work goes in to getting new vestments for servers. I hope that we will be able to use these basically forever and only need to replace them one at a time when they get badly worn from much use at the Altar of the Lord. It may be the case that we will need to get a few smaller sizes, I didn't realize how small some of our 5th grade boys are. I hope we can get by without having to do so, though.
St. John Berchmans,
Pray for us.
