Gabe has been wanting to serve for a while now. We've been holding him off, telling him "maybe when you're twelve." Several weeks ago, Fr. John approached Rob, asking if Gabe would like to be a server. Would he ever! Fr. John and I made arrangements for Gabe to train with Drew at a couple of weekday masses. The child was ecstatic!
Day one: in his Alb.
Day one: both my serving boys! (Sorry about the glowy eyes, I don't know why that happened....)
Day one: Gabe got to hold the book. Drew is standing next to him, to guide him and help if needed.
Day one: The Egan boys!
Day two: processing in and carrying one of those really heavy candles. Notice Drew giving him the side-eye to make sure he keeps up.
Day two: Standing appropriately and learning the ropes. He loved every second.
He did a fine job, and really enjoyed it. He's not quite ready to be put on the schedule yet, but he's getting there. I have to give Drew a shout-out; he was so patient with his brother, and so helpful. My boys are growing up!!!!
