Altar Servers Ministry
The Altar Server Ministry is a very special group of young people in our parish who have answered God’s call to ministry. As an Altar Server, you are one of the liturgical ministers with an important role during the Mass or other liturgical services.
Servers carry the cross, the processional candles, hold the book for the priest celebrant when he is not at the altar, carry the incense and censer, present the bread, wine, and water to the priest during the preparation of the gifts or assist him when he receives the gifts from the people, wash the hands of the priest, assist the priest celebrant and deacon as necessary.

REQUIREMENTS
- Servers should be mature enough to understand their responsibilities and to carry them out well and with appropriate reverence. They must be of more advanced maturity than their peers.
- They should have already received Holy Communion for the first time and normally receive the Eucharist whenever they participate in the liturgy.
- Altar Servers must have a strong desire to serve at the Altar of Our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
- Must be a member of Saint Faustina Catholic Church.
- Must be in Grade 5+ at the start of the current school year (i.e., just "graduated" from the 4th grade).
- You must know how to genuflect, make the sign of the cross, be willing to pray aloud, and know the appropriate responses during Mass.
Those interested in becoming an altar server must meet the requirements above and be able to attend the orientation and training sessions. In addition, servers are asked to meet the expectations of an altar server and meet the obligations to remain an active member of the Altar Server Ministry.
