GUILD of SERVANTS of the SANCTUARY

The Guild of Servants of the Sanctuary ( Server's Guild or G.S.S.for short)

is a world-wide brotherhood of altar servers of the Church of England and

it's opposite numbers overseas ( which together form the "Anglican Communion)

and the S. John Baptist Chapter draws its membership from churches in and around the Torbay area.

The Guild meeting for May will be held at St John's, it will be a Sung Mass,

and two Probationers will be enrolled as Full members. Kristopher Kerr,

server at St John's, and Alexander Cook, server at St Marychurch, the

youngest member of the guild, at 10, in the whole of the UK, I have been told.

which I will under the cartoon.
