Altar Servers

Servers assist the clergy in celebrating the Sacred Liturgy, especially the sacrifice of the Holy Mass. The various tasks of altar servers include leading liturgical processions, assisting with the Missal and the Book of Prayers, helping set the altar during the Mass and attending to sacred vessels after communion. Altar servers also help with the candles, incense, and processional cross.  This is also a wonderful way for the lay faithful to advance in spiritual life that is centered on the Eucharist and to grow in vocational awareness. Servers participate in the Sacred Liturgy with their own work that contributes to the Work of the Faithful and the prayer of the Church and thus their service help build up the Body of Christ. In this way, altar serving is a serious ministry that requires commitment, reliability, and a certain amount of dedicated time, so it is carried out worthily.

Any child who is 5th grade and older are encouraged to assist at weekend Masses as altar servers. Training for this service to the Church takes place every September and servers are scheduled to assist on a monthly basis. Once trained, a boy or girl may continue serving as long as they wish.
Our parish also has adults who assist at the liturgy, especially at funerals. Interested candidates should contact David
