Altar Servers
“You are the light of the world." (Matthew 5:14)
About the Ministry
The youth of the parish participate in the tradition of altar service, where they directly assist the priest during Mass and other liturgical celebrations. This liturgical ministry is open to boys and girls in the fourth grade and older, who have received their First Holy Communion. Altar servers lead processions, carry candles or the cross, and hold ritual books among other functions. Altar servers receive training in the structure of the Mass, the liturgical use of sacred vessels, and the liturgical seasons and their colors.
