Altar Servers

Having the opportunity to serve during Mass means a different type of involvement for young people.

By serving during Mass, children have so many hands on learning opportunities.

It is a wonderful way for them to learn the names of objects used during Mass, vestment pieces, and other church-related terms.

It may also give them a better understanding and appreciation for what is going on during Mass, and that is a pretty wonderful benefit.

Being an Altar Server may also encourage future religious vocations or at least give them a chance to explore the idea, so that in the future they may want to become a Lector or an Extraordinary Minister of Holy Communion.

Serving in the Parish is also a wonderful way to meet other Parishioners.
