Chicago: Altar Boys at the Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Bensenville were prepared for the service with prayer. After days of preparation for the altar service, the children arrived with their parents after praying and preparing. They came in a procession and were given a kotheena and a sunara with the prayers and blessings of the parish priest. The kotheena and sunara, which were given by the parents, were given to their children. Vicar Fr. Thomas Mulavanal and Asst. Vicar Fr. Bins Chethal congratulated all those who had newly arrived for this service. The preparations were led by the coordinators, Brothers Jibeen and Sabu Mutholam.
