The Catholic Church places a serious obligation on all its members to participate in Holy Mass each Sunday, as well as on every holy day – because it is a celebration of all that is the heart and soul of our religion. We come together to worship our Lord, Jesus Christ – and to reenact the Last Supper.

All the participants have a key role, including children. Altar servers assist the priest during Holy Mass. The duties of an altar server include (but are not limited to!) lighting candles, carrying and holding books, preparing the altar if the priest or deacon does not, and cleanup of the altar area after Mass.

Servers are expected to arrive 15 minutes before Holy Mass to assist if the priest or Sacristan need help. If it is a special Mass, like a Holy Day or one of the Easter Triduum masses, servers may have additional duties.

The altar server ministry is special because it involves the very young participants of the mass.  If you are a fourth grader or above and have received your first communion, perhaps you may consider answering God’s call and get involved.  All ages are welcome! You're never too old to be an altar server.
