Altar Servers
Altar Servers are girls and boys in Grades 5 through high school who serve the entire congregation by assisting the priest at Mass. Training sessions are held in the Spring. Adult Servers are adults who serve the entire congregation by assisting the priest at Mass for funerals and special Parish Liturgies. Training is held as needed. Serving Mass is a privilege and an opportunity for you to play a role in the celebration of our most important form of community worship, the Eucharistic Liturgy. Serving requires your attention, your reverence, and your recognition of the duties to be performed. Thank you for accepting these responsibilities.

Important Reminder for all Eucharistic Ministers: Please remember to go to the sacristy immediately after Mass to wash the vessels if you are scheduled for that weekend. Our Mass captains have been doing it more and more, since no one shows up to do so. We appreciate your cooperation in this matter. Thank you!
