To be an altar server is an honor and a privilege. As the late Pope John Paul II stated, "Your commitment to the altar is not only a duty, but a great honor, [and] a genuine holy service." The purpose of this ministry is serving at the Table of the Lord, assisting the presider in the celebration of the Eucharist as well as other sacraments or liturgical activities.

Altar Serving is not just about serving God. The ministry allows our youth and members of the parish to become more involved in their faith and to learn more about the practices and rituals of the Roman Catholic Church.
