The Double-Headed Eagle A Teaching from Bishop Robert Pipta

I can barely recall being in first grade when I started serving at the altar at my Byzantine Catholic parish.  Perhaps I was a bit young, but the “older boys” guided me and were usually quite patient in teaching me the altar serving responsibilities, helping me to mature until I was able to be “head server.”

I believe God was already planting the seeds of my priestly vocation at this early age.
