Altar Server

Altar servers assist the priest in the celebration of the Mass so the liturgy can be conducted with grace and reverence. They assist the celebrant at the chair and at the altar by lighting the candles, dressing the altar, carrying the processional cross, carrying the incense, holding the books and a variety of other tasks during the liturgy. They do this by performing their duties with honor and respect, reflecting the true presence of Christ at the Mass. Altar Servers may also assist the priest during other liturgies of worship and prayer.

Children in Grade 4 or older and adults are invited to become involved in this important ministry. Orientation classes and review classes are held at various times during the year. We welcome adults to volunteer as altar servers as well. Servers are needed for our eleven daily Masses as well as our five weekend Masses, weddings, funerals, Solemnities and other special occasions.
