Altar servers assist the priest and deacon during Mass and help create a prayerful and reverent celebration of the Eucharist. Through this ministry, altar servers have the opportunity to grow closer to Jesus Christ while serving Him and our parish community. At Mass, our Lord becomes truly present on the altar. Because of this, serving is a sacred responsibility and calls for reverence, attentiveness, and a willingness to serve with care.
