Are you in or above grade 2, including in high school? Our priests need your help! Become an altar server today!
Altar servers are a very important part of the liturgy, adding to the dignity and beauty of our parish Masses and helping them run smoothly. They also help with setting up before Mass and cleaning up after Mass. They make sure that Father has everything he needs to celebrate Sunday and weekday Masses.
With age and experience, altar servers take on greater responsibilities at Mass, including using incense and even acting as a master of ceremonies.
Altar servers can also learn to serve weddings, funerals, confirmations, holy hours, processions, and other special liturgies and devotions.
Ongoing, monthly training is provided, and specially tailored vestments are provided by the parish (free of charge) for each altar server. If you (or your children) are interested in becoming altar servers at St. Gabriel’s, please speak with our pastor or contact the parish office.
