When the Geinzer boys were growing up in Ingram in the 1940s and 1950s, their grandpa built them a miniature altar, nicely painted and equipped with its own imitation tabernacle. It wasn’t the most popular toy in the Roman Catholic household of five boys and one girl, but it got a lot of use.
There was a little taste of childhood inside the sanctuary of St. Barbara Church in Collier yesterday when three of the boys, now in their 60s, came together on a full-sized altar as real priests concelebrating a Mass.
So does that mean–the family that prays together, stays together?
Great story, but it seems a little sad. Is there another Geinzer brother to carry on the family name?
