VANCOUVER—Ninety altar servers received awards from Archbishop J. Michael Miller, CSB, for their service to their parishes Sept. 9.

What an inspiring sight you are and what hope you give to your parishes and the whole church! Your joy and enthusiasm for life, your sincerity and openness, your obvious love of Jesus, tell us of the older generations something very important.
Archbishop J. Michael Miller, CSB

More than 400 family members participated in the Mass, then continued the celebration with a reception at Rosary Hall.
