altar boy
An altar boy is a young male who assists the priest during a Catholic mass or other religious service, typically by carrying out tasks such as lighting candles, carrying the cross, or holding the book for the priest. Some other Christian denominations also have similar roles. This role could also be filled by girls in some churches, and then it's called an altar server.

Examples of altar boy in a Sentence
In my life I've been an altar boy, a republican militant and a bar manager; that just shows you that I heard bullshit!
When I look back at that visit and see now how it has been remembered, I think about myself at age 13. I was going to Catholic school, I was an altar boy, the youth group I went to took place in a convent.

All the people who stayed quiet about the altar boy scandal, how do they feel now? it seems like the church is doing all it can to separate Serra from the atrocities and deaths and what happened to the Indians, but that does not work.
