Altar servers assist the priest at Mass, and at
all special services throughout the year. It is a very
important duty and honor; nothing is more important
than the celebration of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass,
that is, the very Life of our Catholic Faith.
Upon completing their training, servers will understand the importance of the celebration of the Mass. A knowledge of the principles of
the Mass enables the server to perform his duties with efficiency
and reverence, and be more effective in assisting the priest.
Those eligible to become altar servers are adult men,
and girls and boys in Grade 2 or older who have
received their First Communion and will give
a commitment to serve faithfully and
reverently at the table of Our Lord.
