Altar Servers

Altar Servers assist the priest during the Mass in order to help the liturgy run smoothly and to ensure the Mass is filled with dignity. They carry the processional cross and candles in the entrance and exit precession, assist the priest during the Preparation of the Gifts, ring the bells during the consecration, and assist with the use of incense when it is used.

Altar Servers should always plan to arrive at least 15 minutes early to assist in setting up for Mass, lighting the candles, etc. Altar servers can begin at age 10 or older and then can continue to serve through high school graduation.

For information about being trained to be an altar server please contact Fr. Craig.
