Altar servers are ministers of the liturgy who serve the Lord and the faith community by fulfilling many important liturgical functions. These include: leading the procession of ministers by carrying the Cross and torches, serving at the Table of the Word and the Eucharist, handling of the sacred vessels and holding the Book of the presider's prayers, Sacramentary.
All young people from 5th grade on including high school are invited to become an altar server at any time. High school servers minister on the weekends and at major liturgies. Grade school servers minister at daily liturgies. Servers may also elect to minister at funerals and weddings. The servers are scheduled approximately once or twice a month. Because school and extra-curricular activities such as sports and band are so vital, the ministry is always more than willing to work with our servers to accommodate their schedules. A short training period is provided.
