Our bishop only allows boys to serve. Vocations to the priesthood often begin with altar service.
Catholic ping!

I was expecting this article to say that the successful parish had stopped putting girls on the altar. Oh, well....

Catholic ping!I was thinking along those lines myself. The girls are fine but I don't think that being altar servers gives THEM the idea to be nuns.
Boys, becoming priests, have the authority to say the words that allow God to change the bread and wine into the Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity of our good Lord.
THAT is the uniqueness of boys' possible future. Not girls. Sorry.
