The ministry of altar server is open to everyone regardless of age, who has made their First Holy Communion and who feels the calling to serve God through the various liturgies of the Catholic Church.
Servers of all ages robe for Mass, carry candles and the Processional Cross, hold the Missal and the Gospel Book, carry the thurible (censer) and incense boat and help with the preparation of the gifts of bread and wine at the altar at the Offertory, and the clearing of the altar after Communion.
