Altar Servers

Altar Servers

Parishioners who have received First Communion are eligible to be trained as altar servers. 

Duties:

  • Carry the cross/candles/incense during the procession into mass
  • Assist the priest by holding the books from which prayers are read
  • Assist the priest in receiving the gifts during the offertory
  • Assist in preparing the altar for Liturgy
  • Assist the priest in the ritual washing of his hands
  • Assist in clearing the altar after the Liturgy
  • Carry the cross/candles/incense during the recession out of mass

Once trained, altar servers are added to the Altar Server Roster.  The roster indicates a preferred mass time and whether or not the server is willing to substitute at different masses.  Altar servers are eligible to receive service hour credits for serving at mass.
