During rites of the Catholic Church at St. Joseph's Seminary and College, Tristan Stovall was raised to the position of Acolyte.
This is a beautiful and sacred role in the Catholic Church, one that comes with much responsibility in assisting priests and deacons during the celebration of Mass. It is reserved for those who are studying for the priesthood.
Tristan is a second-year seminarian from the Diocese of Jackson whose home church is Holy Cross in Philadelphia. His parents are Robbie and Ginger Stovall. Members of his family were present for the occasion. Congratulations!
