St. John erchmans Sooiet .-- ' Fr. Ignatius toils to teach these faithful servers the five rudiments of Latin responses. J. Murphy and D. Connelly prepare to serve Mass. There is more to belonging to the St. John Berch- mans Society than just serving Mass, as D. Watts, P. McCormack, D. Wisniewski, J. Jaworski, P. Callahan, and D. Deubell can tell you. Mass in the school chapel every morning at eight am. We hear this announcement every day. But who serves these Masses? The answer is the members of the St. John Berchmans Society. It is a group of students instructed by Father Ignatius. They learn all the proper methods of serving and assisting the priest before, during, and after Mass. Besides being a group for veteran altar boys, it also trains new boys in the procedures for serving Mass, say- ing Latin prayers, and singing Gregorian Chant.
