The night our new cousin and nephew was born we went out to dinner to celebrate—and also, maybe more accurately, because I didn’t want to make dinner. We went to Pappas, where I had the absolutely delicious crab cake.

Backpacks were packed, shoes were on, and we were gathering things to head out the door when the phone rang.

When Deacon Ray Van Pelt announced at the end of Mass at St. Joan of Arc in Aberdeen that the church was looking for altar servers, Collin whispered to me, “I want to do that!”Collin has been attending Mass weekly (barring the occasional snow storm or stomach bug) since he was 5 days old.
