Altar Server Lenten Service Project - March 26, 2010




Adult Servers Needed
Training
More dates and times TBA

Along with other volunteers who assist in our Funeral Ministry, we are looking to add a core of Adult Mass Servers. These will only be called upon when our youth servers are not available. The commitment would ordinarily be for about an hour and a half on a week day, Monday through Friday, in the morning. Training sessions will be provided in the future. Those who already volunteer for funeral ministries can also be trained for this ministry.This very special ministry serves the Lord at the Altar and helps those who are mourning the loss of a loved one.

 
Please call the Parish Office (663-2244) to let us know that you are interested.
 
The ministry of altar server is open to all young boys and girls in the parish who have completed 3rd grade in school. As an active minister in the Mass, being an altar server enables our young people to gain a greater appreciation and understanding of their faith and of the Liturgy of the Church. It also promotes responsibility, service and leadership.

During training, potential servers become familiar with the various parts of Mass, and what roles our Altar Servers play during parts of the Liturgy. Following the training, new servers are assigned to shadow an experienced server for some hands-on training during weekday Masses. Follow-up training is then offered a few weeks later.

Watch the weekly bulletin to register for New Altar Server Training Days. Call the parish office for more details.
