Altar servers play an important role in the celebration of the Mass and other liturgical functions. In order for the priest to celebrate Mass well, he needs the help of many ministries,
The server is responsible for many things during Mass: he or she leads the procession to the sanctuary, holds the sacramentary for the priest for the opening and closing prayers, prepares the altar at the offertory, helps to receive the gifts of bread and wine, assists at incensing the altar when that is called for and most importantly sets an example for the congregation by the way he or she responds to the prayers and sings the hymns. Servers are assigned to assist at daily and Sunday masses, funerals, weddings and other liturgical functions.
In our parish, both boys and girls can participate called in this ministry after they have received both Baptism and First Communion.
We are all called by our Baptism to serve and build up the Church is some capacity. Serving at the altar is certainly one of the most rewarding ways that is accomplished.
