| Altar Servers These young persons, 4th grade and above, participate in the Liturgy by leading the entrance and recessional processions and serving the priest throughout the Mass. Their duties start about fifteen minutes before Mass to help prepare the sacred vessels, linens and books. Ministry of altar service offers children an excellent opportunity to develop a sense of reverence and to acquire familiarity with the Mass while serving our Parish.
