Loading ...I was an ALTER BOY in the Catholic Church..I went through some training and even learned the MASS in Latin by memory …after working for 5 hours serving at weddings on a Sunday afternoon .The Priest asked if the Best Man gave me anything for the Church .! I said yes and handed him an envelope with money in it.. as I had done at four previous weddings…but this time was a little different…..He followed up with “Empty out your Pockets” any tips he gave Alter Boys belongs to the Church.!
Really ! I thought ….I donated 5 hours for free and now I’m treated like a thief ! So you see at 7 years old I knew what a thief was ..I dident need a college education ..that was the last time I served the Church .It was bad enough every Saturday they gave me the Torn and worn vestments to wear because I had taken them home before and sewn them up as we were in the sewing business…But each week I got another torn vestment instead of the one I sewed and washed the previous week….I wasent stupid at 7 years and didnt need any more education than that ….That was enough for me and told him to get another Boy I wouldent be back..! That was 70 years ago ..nothings changed..Its always about the money….
