Altar Servers
Serving at the Altar during Mass or other services is a great honour. Anyone can apply to become an
Altar Server a year after making their first Holy Communion if they attend Mass regularly. Full training
will be given before you are asked to serve.
The role of the Altar Server is very important because he/she is one of the closest persons to the Altar
and to the Priest representing Jesus Christ during the celebration of the Holy Mass and the
administration of the Sacraments. The service of the Altar Server is greatly appreciated by the church.
A good Altar Server will give their service with major attention and respect. Their behaviour is a very
important aspect because it can arise in other Servers that wish to serve on the Altar.
