Altar Servers

Every person has a gift to offer our parish community! If you are a child in grade 4 or higher, you can serve as an altar server at Masses in our parish community.
 
 Altar Servers assist the priest as he presides over our prayer at Mass. Some of an Altar Serve's dutuies are to:
 
  • carry candles or the processional cross during the entrance and closing  processions 
  • hold the Presider's Book while Father prays certain prayers 
  • assist in preparing the altar for the Eucharistic Prayer 
  • assist in removing items from the altar as necessary 
 
Most importantly, an altar sever is an example of faith and prayer to other children (and to adults!) by their prayerful presence at Mass. By sharing their time and talent with the rest of the parish, an altar server shows how much God is a part of their life.

Altar servers are asked to serve at Mass about once a month (sometimes more frequently) or at seasonal celebrations such as Christmas and Easter Masses. In order to be prepared and to feel comfortable in this role, a server would need to attend some training sessions. New servers are always scheduled with more experienced servers who will continue to show the new server the ropes. 
 
We are very appreciative of the service that our altar servers offer to our parish community.
