Altar Servers offer service to God and the community by assisting the priest during Mass. The ministry is open to all youth of the parish who have made their First Communion and whose parents believe they are ready and responsible enough to be trained. Young men and women assist the Priest and Deacon at the Altar for all weekend, Holy Day and school Masses. Adults assist at non-school Masses or when school is not in session.
Training of the young people begins in the summer between the Fifth and Sixth Grades. Interested servers participate in the Summer Server Camp - a weeklong program designed to give students an in-depth orientation. The camp runs from 1:00 pm to 4:00 pm Monday through Friday. Servers must participate in each session, each day of the camp. Servers may serve until they choose to move to a different ministry. Training for adults is at a mutually agreeable time.
Server Camp for 2019 runs from June 10-14, 2019. Registration is available here.
