ALTAR SERVING
Altar Serving
“Here is the first thing Jesus says to each one of you: be holy,” Pope Francis said to the altar servers. He reminded them of the good fortune they have to approach the altar where the host and wine are consecrated to become the Body and Blood of Our Lord, adding that though their eyes do not see Jesus, their lips and hearts adore Him.
Pope Francis further encouraged the altar servers to put all the enthusiasm of their age into the encounter with Jesus hidden under the Eucharistic veil. “Offer Jesus your hands, your thoughts and your time,” he urged, “and He will not fail to reward you, giving you true joy and making you feel where the most complete happiness is.”
The Altar Server assists the clergy in the celebration of Mass & other liturgical services. Training is provided for all interested in serving and must shadow an experienced server for at least four Masses. They must also have made their First Communion.
If you are interested in serving at the altar, you can reach out to Cecilia Carlton at the church office.
