Fathers, Sons, and Altar Serving: The Lost Rites of Passage
Altar serving is a critical rite of passage for Catholic boys. With the decline of traditional male roles in the Church, young men are losing the structured guidance they need to grow into strong, capable leaders. Drawing on Joseph Campbell's Hero's Journey, I’ll explain how these rites help boys develop the virtues of discipline, strength, and leadership. Learn why Catholic fathers need to step up, reclaim these traditions, and guide their sons toward their sacred roles.
