Altar Boys...
Will Be Boys
WASHINGTON (NC) - The new 18 year age
minimum for permanent lectors and acolytes,
established at the U.S. bishops’ annual meeting here,
will not rule out the practice of young altar boys
serving at Mass, according to an official of the National
Conference of Catholic Bishops (NCCB).

Girl Scout Junior Troop
1348 at Immaculate Heart of
Mary School took advantage
of the last progress report
teacher’s workday and used
the day off as part of a
three-day troop backyard
campout at their leader’s
home.
Along with a first aid
course and work on the
Health Aid Badge, they also
participated and helped plan
a Mass on Saturday night.
Father Noel Burtenshaw
officiated at the Mass. The
scouts selected the two
readings, the Prayer of the
Faithful and the hymns to be
sung.
The troop is lead by Mrs.
Janet McGraw and Mrs.
Jeannette Gallagher.

Father John Ro telle,
associate director of the
NCCB Committee on the
Liturgy, said here that, “just
as there will still be women
readers, so altar boys will still
be used under the new
norms.”
Pope Paul VI established
the lay ministries of acolyte
and lector by an apostolic
letter last August.
When the letter was
released in September, it
created a controversy because
the Pope had reaffirmed the
custom of allowing only men
to be permanently installed in
the office of either ministry.
There were immediate
“clarifications” from the
Vatican and the national
office of the NCCB, pointing
out that women would still
take part in the liturgy as
readers “by temporary
appointment.”
‘‘By temporary
appointment” is the technical
terminology used to refer to
those who exercise a ministry
without formal installation.
In the same way that
women will still be readers
although they cannot be
installed in the ministry of
lector, altar boys can still
serve at the altar even though
they are too young to meet
the 18-year minimum age for
being installed in the ministry
to acolyte.
Besides serving at Mass, the
ministry of acolyte includes
being extraordinary minister
of the Eucharist under certain
circumstances and publicly
exposing the Blessed
Sacrament if there is no priest
or deacon available to do it.
Father Rotelle said that
these functions of the
acolyte’s ministry would be
reserved to those installed as
permanent acolytes or as
extraordinary ministers of the
Eucharist.
.According to Father
Rotelle, no one is quite sure
what will happen to
“extraordinary ministers of
the Eucharist,” a special
ministry that has been
authorized in the United
States since 1971 on an
experimental basis.
Since the document
authorizing this as a separate
ministry was “experimental,”
and since this ministry is part
of the new ministry of
acolyte, some observers
expect the special ministry to
be phased out. However,
since the extraordinary
ministry of the Eucharist is
open to women - while the
office of acolyte is not --
there could be efforts to
retain that ministry.
