Freddie’s sister, Suzie, does not think Freddie is up to the job of becoming an altar server. “You’d be hopeless,” she says.

Join Freddie as he proves to his sister and to Fr Tim that he can do the job, and do it well.

Fr Tim leads the children through training sessions that help Freddie and his friends learn more about the role of the altar server at Mass. They get to practise with experienced servers like Suzie, and Suzie and Freddie overcome their differences along the way.

Readers will see Freddie grow to become a confident server who helps others participate in the Mass. They also get a glimpse of how altar serving has changed since Fr Tim’s youth.

Ideal for groups of would-be servers, individual children, or adults guiding them in their role, the book is rich in information but sprinkled with humour and understanding as Freddie finds his feet (most of the time)!
