"Whatever you do, do from the heart, as for the Lord and not for others, knowing that you will receive from the Lord the due payment of the inheritance; be slaves of the Lord Christ." —Colossians 3:23-24

ALTAR SERVERS

Altar servers play a special and important role in the life of our Catholic Church. These young volunteers assist the priest during Masses and other liturgical ceremonies, helping to ensure that the celebration of the Eucharist is reverent and orderly. Their duties include carrying the cross, holding the book for the priest, preparing the altar, assisting with the presentation of the gifts, and much more. Through their service, altar servers not only support the liturgy but also deepen their own faith and understanding of the Mass.

Being an altar server is a beautiful way to grow spiritually and be more involved in the life of the Church. It is also an opportunity to serve the community and build lasting friendships. If you are a young person interested in growing closer to God and serving the Church in this meaningful way, we invite you to join our altar server team. Your participation will make a difference and help bring the light of Christ to our parish. We warmly welcome anyone who feels called to serve!

I (Altar Server) indicate that I am willing to serve Holy Innocents Catholic Church in the capacity of an altar server; on the dates and times I have marked, which will be published in a monthly schedule. I further agree to attend all scheduled training sessions, and if I cannot serve when I am scheduled, I agree to find a replacement and or contact the senior altar server for the Mass on which I am scheduled to serve.

I Agree

I (Parent or Guardian) agree to support my child in their ministry to Holy Innocents Catholic Church as an altar server on the days and times indicated for both Masses and training. I further agree to try to insure my child arrives at least 15 minutes before Mass and is properly dressed. I also understand that if my child arrives late and is not properly dressed, they may not be allowed to serve at that Mass.
