April 20,2008 was red-letter day for us Altar Servers at St. Peter's. The day started with the Eucharist celebration at 8 a.m. celebrated by Fr. Jude Fernandes, s.j. the introduction, readings, prayers of the faithful and thanksgiving were done by different altar servers. The apt homily given by Fr. Jude highlighted the importance of altar servers and the great privilege we had of being present at the Eucaristic table. He thanked theparents whose children were altar servers and assured them of God's blessings. He asked them to continue to help their children keep their mass appointments and this would teach them to be responsible adults in the future. He also exhorted other parents to encourage their children to be altar servers. A small token of our gratitude was presented to all the animators.

The Eucharist was followed by an enjoyable breakfast that fostered fellowship and interaction. Later in the day, we had a great time of fun and frolic through various games and a refreshing swim. We wound up with a sumptuous lunch. It was truly a memorable day for us. We are deeply grateful to Bros. Kenrick, Felix and Charles, Arlene, Savio, Shannon, Antoinette and Fr. Jeevan for their presence, help and encouragement throughout the year.
