Altar Servers

Become an Altar Server

Boys and girls who have received their First Communion can minister as altar servers. The ministry is open to adults as well.

The servers enhance the quality of celebration for the whole gathered assembly by assisting the priests and deacons, by taking part in processions holding the cross and candles, holding the Roman Missal (big red book) for the priest, helping receive the gifts of bread, wine and water, washing the hands of the priest, ringing the bells, generally assisting as necessary and and by ensuring that all items required for the celebration of the mass are available at the appropriate moments.

Periodic training is required and provided.
