Altar Servers
Please read the following letter from Father Putnam, as an introduction to potential new Altar Servers, and a great reminder for our current servers.
Altar Server Training
Altar Server Training is available for both new and second year servers. At these sessions you will:
- Learn important cues that will increase your confidence on the altar
- Be able to ask questions
- Practice the bells
- Practice accepting the gifts
- Get certified in Cross, Book, or Incense roles.
Training is 6-8 pm both days, and only one session is needed. Please be on time.
If you have been serving for a long time, and would like mentor to the younger servers, please contact us.

As Father stated in his letter, it is a great honor and privilege to serve at the altar of God. Our ministry recognizes that with this great privilege comes great responsibility. So, we serve our Lord with confidence, because you are competent, well prepare, well dressed, in prayer posture, with a quiet heart for prayer, and finally humbled in the close proximity to which you’ll attend the Altar, (only the Priest and Deacons are closer the miracle that occurs at Mass). As Altar Servers, our roles are to (1) assist Father and Deacon, and (2) most importantly to attend Mass and become holier for this time with our Lord.
