Serrans scoop ice cream for Altar Servers of Boston

November 3rd, 2009

Members of the Serra Club of Boston recently helped out with the Altar Server Appreciation Mass held in the Cathedral on October 31, 2009. Altar Servers were able to attend a special Mass at the Cathedral of the Holy Cross, followed by an ice cream social in the high school gym.

Serrans helped greet guests, distribute altar server certificates, and even scoop ice cream. The ice cream was sticky and required some extra muscle, but it was well worth it to help reward the altar servers of the Archdiocese of Boston!

Photos of the ice cream social can be seen in the slideshow below.

Thanks to the Archdiocese of Boston Vocations Office for organizing this event!
