For Catholics, nothing is more important than the Mass.
It is the heart and soul of our worship of God. It is the celebration that
gives us the strength we need to live a Christian life. Because of its
importance, the Church places a serious obligation on all its members to
take part in the Mass each Sunday and Holy days. Thus, each Sunday the
Christian community comes together to give joint worship to the Father and
our Lord Jesus Christ. Of all things Christians do, nothing is more
important than celebrating Mass together. In your call to ministry, you
will assist at other services, but none is as important as your service at
Mass as one of the leaders of the community. The Mass is a reenactment of
the last supper when Jesus instituted the Eucharist and told his
followers, "do this in memory of me."
Who May Serve ...
Anyone who has received the sacrament of First
communion and has not finished 12th grade. You must be in the
state of grace, which is maintained by following church teaching and
actively taking part in the sacrament of penance and reconciliation. Which
is required by the Church once a year before Easter. You must be willing
and able to make a commitment to serve at all scheduled dates. This
requires a commitment not only from the server, but also from the server's
parent or guardian. The server will need to complete a training session
which is usually 4 one hour sessions set up with the Director of the Altar
Server Ministry.
