alterboy

One who aids the clergy in their rituals, by bringing certain items to the table, or carrying the book for them to read. Of recent years, altergirls have been allowed as well. Despite what everyone says, alterboys are just there to help, as one priest cannot do everything himself. Sometimes there may be a deacon to help when no alterboys are present, but this is not always the case. An astounding 0 reports, suspicions, and accusations combined of alterboy molestation have come to pass in my Church's history.
