Boys And Their Toys...

The parish fire-extinguishers were out of date, and apparently of an age where the testing and refilling of them would be more expensive than the purchase of new ones. So Fr Tim promised the altar servers that they could let the old extinguishers off after the 10:30am Mass.

First of all, Father felt obliged to check out one of the CO2 extinguishers, just to be absolutely certain that it worked...





Then each server was kitted out with an extinguisher, and the whole troupe lined up neatly (I half expected them to genuflect: they're very well trained.) Fr Tim was sternly instructing them to wait until he gave the signal... possibly more concerned for the safety of his cassock than for the timing of the photo...

...and then they were off!
