Altar Servers are deeply engaged in the Liturgies of the Parish, assisting the Presider in the celebration of the Mass.
The primary role of the altar server is to assist Father in the celebration of the Liturgy. This is done by helping the priest and very attentively participating in and assisting with the Mass, serving with reverence and respect. Altar Servers are also a community of young people who serve the parish at Mass, help prepare food baskets for the needy, and also have fun together on field trips and other outings.
