Bearing the candles in entrance procession
Assisting with holy water, water, wine and offertory gifts at Mass

Occasionally, Altar Servers will have the opportunity to serve the Bishop as miter or staff-bearer. Serving at the altar is a big responsibility. The clergy count on your showing up when scheduled. They count on your mature attitude while serving. They expect you to be dressed neatly and to arrive early. They appreciate a reverent attitude in all that you do.

If you feel that you would like to serve the Church by being an Altar Server, please Keith Blaschke or the Church office for more information.
