Servers Day at New Addington


On Saturday, 22nd November 2008, The Good Shepherd, New Addington, hosted a day for altar servers led by pairsh priest Father Stephen Boyle, together with Father John Boyle and Matthew Charlesworth SJ.

Two servers from St Simon's joined about 60 servers from the Croydon Deanery and other parishes including a large group from group from St Ignatius, Stamford Hill, led by Brother Matthew.

It was an opportunity for a reunion of those who had attended the Altar Servers' Rome trip in October and 'Summertime 2008'.

I wish we had a diocesan thing like St. Stephen's guild for our young servers. Did your brother start it, or inherit the job?

The Guild of St Stephen has been around for many years. My brother happens to be the current chaplain. It does create a sense of identity and commitment to a role.

The youngsters who serve at St Simons really are a wonderful group, very prayerful and graceful, and a real credit to everyone involved.
