On Saturday our Parishes Altar Servers went along with Fr Alf to the Cathedral where Bishop Michael Campbell OSA celebrated the Fifth Diocesan Altar Servers Mass. During Mass all of the Altar Servers were Presented with the 'Letters of St Paul' which were blessed by Bishop Michael. After the Mass the Altar servers went into the Cathedral Social Centre for some refreshments and had there photo taken with Bishop Michael (Pictured Right). Whilst in the Social Centre we noticed a familiar face to the Diocese, Emeritus Bishop Patrick O'Donoghue. Bishop O'Donoghue had not been in the Mass but called in to see all the Diocesan Altar Servers for the last time before he leaves. After a Cup of Tea and a few Biscuits the Altar Servers went to Morecambe bowling! The Altar Servers had a little tournament Boys vs Girls, can you guess who won? of course the boys with 521 points!
The day was most enjoyable for all, and was a colourful sight at the cathedral with all of the different parishes Altar Servers vestments. The day also proved to be a great chance to meet other servers from across the Diocese.
