“Today as I look out at you standing here in St. Peter’s Square I think of the Apostles and feel the voice of Jesus who says to you, ‘I no longer call you servants, but friends, remain in my love and bear much fruit.’  I invite you: listen to this voice.  Christ did not just say this 2000 years ago, he lives and speaks to you now.  Perhaps to some of you the voice is saying, ‘I want you to serve me in a special way, as a priest, becoming my witness, being my friend and introducing others to this friendship.  The bond of friendship with Jesus flows forth from and finds its culmination in the Eucharist.  Your stay very close to Jesus in the Eucharist, and this is the greatest sign of His friendship for every one of us.”  - Pope Benedict XVI, August, 2006

Also know as "Ministers of the Altar", Servers have a very important role in Mass, since they serve Jesus through the celebrant Priest.  Young  members of the Parish who have made their First Communion and are at least in the 4th grade through High School are invited to serve at the altar of the Lord. 

This important ministry provides assistance at the altar and whose ceremonial duties are essential to good liturgy.  The proper exercise of this ministry depends on regular training and discipline, together with spiritual formation and encouragement from the priests, parents, and the parish community.  The ministry of Altar Server helps everyone in the church to focus their attention on the Sacred Liturgy.  It is a great privilege to serve the Lord in this way with an attitude of attentiveness, respect, and humility: the three qualities most needed in an Altar Servers.

Altar Server Schedule Assignments are now made through Ministry Scheduler Pro.
