I liked it even though Father John was too nervous to let me light the candles. |

I entered the confessional box, said my sins and left. When I came out, my mother told me I entered the wrong box. The priest had taken a break and I didn't know. So I had to go through confession a 2nd time. |

Not as a Catholic, but in the Mormon equivalent of the Eucharist....yes.
Mormons call it "The Sacrament" and it is conducted by young men who have been ordained to the Mormon priesthood. Deacons are usually 12-14 years of age and "pass the Sacrament" which means they carry the equivalent of The Host in trays to the congregation after it has been blessed by two priests, typically 16 to 21 years of age. The table that acts as an altar is prepared by "Teachers" usually 14-16 years old.
I acted in all these functions at those ages. The prayers over the bread and water have to be word for word correct. I blew one of them twice, very embarrassing especially when I did a bit of a nervous laugh the second time.
