Altar Serving Ministry
Altar Serving is a privileged liturgical ministry.
It is a service to the gathering of God’s people at Holy Mass, prayer services, funerals, and weddings. The server assists the presider; prepares the altar; leads three processions during Mass; guides the assembly when to stand, to sit, to kneel; makes sure that what is needed for the celebration is brought,carried or moved into place. Outside of the priest or deacon, servers, more than any other liturgical ministry, are concerned with almost every aspect of the celebration of the liturgy.
Those involved in this ministry are boys and girls in fifth grade through high school
who have received their First Communion.
Schedules posted on the parish website, in the school and religious education offices, at the parish center, posted on the church liturgy bulletin board and in the altar server vesting area.
Training is usually offered twice a year.
