In the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit
Heavenly Father, as I prepare to assist You at Your altar, I declare my faith in You. At this Mass, keep me from distractions. Let me remember that in assisting the priest I am assisting Jesus in offering You the merits of His passion and death. I thank You for allowing me the opportunity to give my service to You. At this Mass, I join with your Priest in offering You the sacred Body and Blood of my Savior, Jesus Christ, Your Son. May my sharing the Divine Food in Holy Communion bring me eternal salvation. Amen.
Serving at the altar is a fantastic way to draw closer to Christ, Pope Francis has said, and we here at Saint Thomas the Apostle heartily agree. Children who have received their First Communion are eligible to serve. It is a wonderful sight to see so many young Catholics in our parish who are eager to serve the Lord at the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass.
Training is required before serving, so please contact our coordinator, Maria Rios
