SOME HIS-STORY
Altar servers or better know as Altar Boys till 1994
because girls were not allowed to serve till then. In
the year 1965 Fr. Tony Saldanha was the priest in charge
of the Altar Boys. A month before the final exams Fr.
Saldanha would go around the classes (5th, 6th & 7th
Stds) inviting boys to join the altar service. In June
the number of boys would rise up to 90, however, gradually
drop to 60 by Easter. Regularity of the Altar Boys at
that time was up to the mark, they were even allowed
to serve in the convent. Few servers who took up the
vocation- Fr. Savio, Br. Thomas etc. Till date many
priest and brothers have being in charge of the Altar
Servers, however, according to Fr. Tony Saldanha one
person who left the Best influence on the Altar Servers
was Fr. Vernon sj.
COSTUMES

to skirt-blouse-collar of different sizes (1, 2, 3 &

the costumes.
