Altar Servers
“To be understood as to understand,
To be loved as to love, For it is in giving that we receive. . .”
~ from The Prayer of Saint Francis
Altar Servers help facilitate our Eucharistic liturgies in a regular and reverent manner. Serving at the Altar is a special privilege. Altar Servers are close to the altar as they serve the priest and help to carry the cross and the light of Christ as the Gospel is proclaimed. This ministry is open to anyone who has entered the fifth grade or older. Being an Altar Server is a liturgical function; therefore, one must be a baptized and Eucharistic Catholic. It is out of one’s baptism into the Body of Christ that they are called to this ministry. If you are interested in becoming an Altar Server, please contact the Parish Office at 503.289.2834.
