In Best of the Week, Patrick's Powerful Moments

“Altar Serving Has Helped Me Grow in My Faith.” (The Patrick Madrid Show)

Jake Mooreby Jake Moore

On The Patrick Madrid Show, 11-year-old Walter from Orlando calls in to share how being an altar server has helped him grow closer to Jesus. He talks about his favorite parts of serving – ringing the bells, carrying incense, and bringing the water and wine to the priest – and explains how those moments help him believe in the true presence of Christ in the Eucharist. Walter even says that he often thinks about becoming a priest one day, and Patrick encourages him to keep listening for God’s call.

The two swap stories about their own altar boy experiences, from serving multiple Masses on feast days to treasured memories of Holy Week. This uplifting exchange shows how altar serving plants seeds of faith and vocation in young hearts.

If you’ve ever wondered what altar serving means for kids today – or how it can inspire the priests of tomorrow – you’ll love this heartwarming conversation.
