Altar Servers assist at the Mass and various Liturgical Celebrations. They aid the Priest and Deacons by carrying the candles, cross and occasionally incense during the procession. Catholic boys and girls who have celebrated their First Communion and who attend faith formation classes can attend a training class to become an Altar Server.
Each Sunday Mass requires four (4) Altar Servers consisting of a Cross Bearer (crucifer), First Acolyte, Second Acolyte, and Book Bearer. Altar servers assist the Priest and Deacon at the Mass and play a critical role in the Liturgy. Serving as an Altar Server strengthens a volunteer's faith, assists in their Spiritual Growth, and facilitates participation in God's Holy Church.
