would be pleased and honored to return to serving
Mass on a regular basis. Father David Corcoran Of
the Cathedral staff took over the direction of the men.
A schedule was set up and the men took over the
us and 8 am. Masses. All were enthusiastic and
faithful to the assignments. Other men who were never
given the opportunity to serve as boys were added to
the list and began to learn prayers and procedure.
IN THE FALL the men volunteered to serve Mass
for visiting delegates to the National Convention of
Penitentiary c~haplains. At the same time Pat West
started attending the 8 am. Mass at Holy Cross church
and it was added to the assignments as well.
Then in November another "altar boy received an
assignment. He was Captain Martin Winters of the Co
lumbus Police Department. AS a result of his partici-
patton in the program, Catholic members of both
Police and Fire Departments took over the mission of
serving the Noon Mass at the Cathedral. The arrange
ment proved ideal since Father Lawrence ]. O'Connor
of the Cathedral is chaplain of both departments.
These two groups along with the adult servers who
assist at Pontifical Masses have given a new look to
the Cathedral sanctuary. More important, they have
contributed impressively to the dignity and Solemnity
of the the sacred ceremonies.
Other men who are serving or have been partici-
pating in the program include: Francis Boehm, Richard
Brehm, Eugene Butler, John Bryant, Thomas Carroll,
Richard CaStrop, DR.. Patrick Creedon, Robert Gull,
Edmund Doyle, Dennis Finneran, Robert FitzsimmonS,
DR.. Thomas Hughes, Charles Huisman, John Igoe.

Badgeley, Edward Dorgan, Andrew Guyer, John Hig-
gins, John Kruse, William KuskoWski, Gerald ONeal,
Joseph Pishitelli, Frank Scales, Albert Scoles, Joseph
Schaefer, Richard Weldon, and Charles Westenberger.
THE POINT of all this is best expressed by the
men themselves: When a Catholic man assists at Mass
where there is no server, he should volunteer and help
the priest.
The men at the Cathedral and Holy Cross will
attest that the sense of close participation in the Holy
Sacrifice, the good example they give to the congrega-
ton, and the service they are rendering Our Lord Is
such a reWarding experience that it bears out the
axiom sit is more blessed to give than to receive"
