Fr. Nicholas Mihaly spoke for a few minutes on the connection between faith and works.

"We must always practice and live our faith, in practical ways."
Fr. Miles Zdinak spoke about St. John the Compassionate Mission in Toronto as an example in the Diocese of Living Faith.
Fr. Miles reminded the altar boys that there were many ways to serve the needy in their local communities.
To demonstrate the necessity for altar boys to work together as a team, the group engaged in a favorite activity the shoe relay.
Ready, set, go!
Finding their shoes is always a challenge.
