Congratulations to the servers who were officially enrolled in the St. Ann MEF Server Ministry!

In the first rank, Junior Acolyte, the servers are required to know how to serve as Acolyte 2 in the Low Mass in addition to knowing how to serve as Torchbearer in the Missa Cantata. The servers also agree to be open to receiving encouragement and education on having a devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary as well as develop an interior prayer life. The servers were also required to take a challenging test and pass it. Last, but not least, the Postulants had to endure six months of training before they could enroll. Servers who had been participating in the program prior to this year assisted in the training of the postulants. At the Ceremony tonight, the servers all received a special rosary hand-picked by Fr. Reid for the occasion.

Here's the list of newly enrolled Junior Acolytes:

- Michael Kitson (Postulant)

- Nathaniel Rusciolelli (Postulant)

- AJ Olhaut (Postulant)

- Harry Olhaut (Postulant)

- Peter Rusciolelli (Postulant)

- Sam Dehority (1.5 years)

- Griffin Walsh (1.5 years)

- Thomas Mathis (1.5 years)

- Luke Bruck (2.5 years)

- Benjamin Bruck (2.5 years)

- Joseph Bruck (2.5 years)

A special regcognition went to Brady Ostendorf who was enrolled as a Master of Ceremonies, the highest rank the ministry offers. Brady has put in a lot of work, training, devotion, and committment to serving the Lord and received his own personal surplice as a gift from Fr. Reid. He took many tests and endured preparation and training above and beyond what's required. Thank you Brady for your service and desire to lead.

Congrats to all!
