Three year old Daniel is on the left. Cole, the priest, is 11. Alter boy Eric is 8.
Cole has wanted to be a priest since he was about 6 years old.
He was inspired to hold this mass, which is one of many he has held, because he had just completed his first week of serving as an alter boy at our Church.
A few years ago old neighbors of ours found out Cole liked playing church and so they gave us a beautiful child size mass kit with a book and vestments and all.
Daniel rang the bell for the consecration. Eric was very serious at his alter boy duties.
Our piano bench served as the alter. The window curtain behind the boys served as the tabernacle and crackers and bread were used for the hosts.
Their dad and I were the lay faithful that attended this fine service. This really was a domestic Church. What a joy!

jackie: I am really excited about installing a rose window in your living room. It will be a great addition to your domestic church!! the kids look great. Maybe a future priest of two in those shots. Kevin Clark
I love these pictures! You have described this to me, but seeing your boys at their "play" has a power greater than words.
