The history of acolytes (altar boys) goes back to the earliest days of the Church. For example, St. Tarciscius was a 13 year old boy and acolyte in the 3rd or 4th century. Because there were no deacons present at a morning Mass, he was chosen to take the communion bread to prisoners awaiting execution. Along the way he was attacked by a group of similar aged boys and killed. He is a patron saint of altar servers.
