Altar Serving

"I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who has strengthened me, that he has made me his servant and judged me faithful." (1 Timothy 2:12) 

 

 

Altar Serving is a wonderful way to show an active commitment to our faith while performing a holy service and allows the server to assist in the celebration. Individuals are trained in one or two sessions (usually a total of 3-6 hours) and then they are servers in training for 5-6 Masses where they participate in all aspects of the Mass from an Altar Server's perspective.

Upon completion of the training, Servers are installed at a Mass.

 

By that time, the Altar Servers will:

  • Know the order of the Liturgy of the Mass.

  • Be able to anticipate each movement and need of the Celebrant.

  • Will be able to perform their duties with grace and reverence.

  • Any parishioner age 7-95 yrs. old can train to be an Altar Server, but must have made their First Holy Communion.
