Altar Server Witness

You may have seen me serving the 5:15 daily mass at Cathedral. No, I’m not a seminarian, and yes I’m a working young adult. So, why do I serve? I moved to Springfield five years ago after graduating college. As I journeyed out into the “real world” I knew I wanted to continue the practice that I developed right after graduating college of attending daily mass. I started to go the 5:15 mass at Cathedral and after about a year of attending, Fr. Seth Brown contacted me and asked if I would be interested in serving daily mass there. Somehow growing up I was able to wiggle out of altar serving all together (unlike my two brothers). I decided to give it a shot however when Fr. Seth Brown asked and quickly grew to love donating my time to serving the holy sacrifice of the mass. Serving has given me a greater appreciation for the mass and helped me grow into a deeper relationship with our Lord. It allows me to give back to the Lord for all the blessings and love He has shown me. Being involved in the mass in a different way has also helped in my own discernment in both big and little life decisions. If you have the slightest interest in altar serving (no matter how young or old you may be) I encourage you to give it a shot. I think you’ll be surprised of the graces you will receive from your service to the Church.

-Nicholas Gray, Parishioner and Altar Server
