Altar server ministry offers youth in grades 5 and up an opportunity to assist at Mass. Boys and girls are both welcome! Servers are critical to Father's ability to offer Mass and aide in a reverent Mass experience for all parishioners. The ministry of altar serving requires dedication, attentiveness to detail and appropriate reverence for the sacred articles and solemnity of the liturgy.
