All Parish children in 4th grade and up are encouraged to become altar servers. We also encourage the altar servers to stay on after graduating from grammar school. Serving is a ministry, just as being a Eucharistic Minister, Lector, Usher, etc. In addition to serving at Mass on Sundays, the altar server also serves at weddings, funerals and holydays. Scheduling is computerized and any unique conditions can be provided to the computer program.
Training is provided once a year.
However, special consideration will be given to new parishioners who have served at a previous parish. If you are interested , please call the rectory office . The parish Ushers have the responsibility to greet the parishioners and visitors as they enter the church. Their ministry is to assist others such as in handing out material needed for the liturgical functions, finding a suitable place in the church for everyone, directing those who are receiving Communion and also in other areas where they are needed. One of their biggest responsibilities is at the preparation of the gifts, helping the congregation to realize that their gift offering is truly that, a gift to be given at the Offertory of the Mass. One advantage of this ministry is that all ages can be involved.
