Do you want to be up close to a miracle? Be an altar server!

As Catholic's we can be in the presence of a miracle daily by going to Mass and receiving the Eucharist. Our children and young adults have an opportunity to participate in this miracle in a special way by being altar servers and MC (master of ceremonies). These two ministries assist the priest and deacon at Mass by carrying in cross and candles, leading the Gospel procession, bringing sacred vessels to prepare the altar, bringing gifts to the altar, bringing water and towel for hand washing, and returning items to credence table after Communion is finished. They also lead the assembly by their reverence in being prayerful and attentive during Mass.  Participating in this important ministry can also be a great way for these young people to begin discerning a life of service to the church as a priest, deacon, or religious brother or sister. It also fosters their faith and love of the Church as they grow into adults. Many of these young people will be parents in the future through this service and will pass on their love for the faith to their children.

Please encourage you child to consider service in this ministry.  A few videos they might enjoy watching are:
