Altar Servers are a vital part of the liturgical ministry. The role of the Altar Server is to assist the Priest in the celebration of the liturgy during Mass.
Some of the Altar Server responsibilities include:

  • Caring for the altar candles
  • Bearing the cross and candles in the entrance procession
  • Assisting with holy water, water, wine and offertory gifts at Mass
  • Assist the priest celebrant and deacon as necessary.

Boys and girls in grades 3 - 8 are invited to become Altar Servers. The children will complete altar server training before being able to serve a Mass. 
​

All servers will vest in an alb and cincture. Altar servers are expected to conduct themselves in a reverent and respectful fashion. For most Masses, servers should be in the sacristy and vested at least 10 minutes before Mass. Duties after Mass require another 10 minutes.

This is a wonderful ministry, and if you would like to become an Altar Server, please complete the form below and return it to the Parish Center or drop in the Collection Basket. We look forward to having you serve with us.
