Altar Servers

Members of the Altar Server Ministry provide respectful and reverent altar service at our Lord’s table during scheduled liturgies. They assist priests and deacons at regular weekend masses, holy days of obligation, weddings, baptism services, confirmation masses and other liturgical functions (Eucharistic Processions, Adoration, etc.) The ministry functions as a 3-tiered program consisting of Altar Servers (Crucifers and Missal Bearers), Candle Bearers, and Senior Servers.

 

The Altar Server ministry is open to those who have completed the fourth grade, have received their First Holy communion, and are members of a family that is registered in our Parish.
