Ministry of Altar Servers
|
What we do
Altar servers assist the Priest in the celebration of the Mass so the liturgy can be conducted with grace and reverence. We assist the celebrant at the chair and at the altar by setting the altar, lighting the candles, carrying the processional cross, carrying the incense, holding the books, and a variety of other tasks during the service. We do this by performing our duties with honor and respect, reflecting the true presence of Christ at the Mass. This ministry helps to develop a sense of participation in parish life and a love for the church's liturgical life, while growing closer to God in one's own life. It also offers an opportunity to understand the rewards of service toward others and their community.
When we do it
The Altar Servers assist primarily at weekend and Holy Day Masses. We occasionally serve at weddings, funerals, missions, and other special liturgies.
Who can participate
The ministry is open to all interested students - male or female - 5th grade through high school, who would like to help enhance the worship of our faith community.
How can I help
Assist in training of the servers and help maintaining the servers albs clean and tidy.
