Our parish Altar Servers assist the priest at all weekend Masses and when available on weekdays. This ministry provides an opportunity for our young people to serve God and their parish family. It allows them to play an intricate role in the Mass itself and by their example they enable others to pray and enter into the mystery of the celebration.
Boys and Girls serve at Mass on a regular scheduled basis. Altar Servers assist the priests and ministers, and set an example for all people, especially the young, during our liturgies.
Boys and Girls who have received their First Holy Communion and completed 2nd Class are eligible to serve. As per parish practice, the parish adheres
to its Child Protection Policy and Guidelines.
