Altar Servers

Mission Statement

The Altar Server’s primary role is to assist the celebrant during Mass so that the liturgy may be conducted with reverence and dignity.

The Altar Server Ministry teaches responsibility, humility, and an appreciation for the Mass while developing a sense of participation in parish life and a love for the church’s liturgical life. It also offers an opportunity to understand the rewards of service toward others while growing closer to God.

Requirements

This ministry is open to all boys and girls of our parish who are in the 5th grade or above. Altar servers must have already received the Sacrament of Holy Communion, be able to attend scheduled training sessions, and be available on a regular basis to serve at Mass.
