Altar server Brian O'Shaughnessy is the image of innocence as he carries the cross in for worship at St. Catherine of Siena, near Prices Corner.

It's a Saturday Mass and the 11-year-old also prepares the table for Holy Communion.

Altar servers are lay assistants to clergy and help with worship chores such as carrying candles and holding the missal, a liturgical book with texts for the celebration of Mass.
