(73,875 posts)But, I went to a big catholic school. (165 in my 8th grade class, so over 1,300 students).
So, being an altar boy, or in the choir required auditions!
It was the Cathedral school, so all the high mucky-muck masses were there.
I was VP in 7th grade & President in 8th grade of Knights of the Altar!
It was a very big deal. We have 50 or so altar boys.
But, this Italian catholic boy decided after 8th grade that I'd been to church enough for a lifetime. So, I quit going, except for weddings & funerals.
My parents, thankfully, knew they couldn't make me. They weren't happy, but they accepted it.
Now, for the kicker: I went to a Catholic HS, a catholic college for undergrad & a catholic college for graduate degrees! Still didn't go to church.
