Altar Servers
|
Mission Statement:
To provide boys and girls with the opportunity to learn more about their faith and to begin to build a foundation of evangelization and stewardship by serving at Mass and other liturgical functions.
Goals:
- To enhance the servers understanding of liturgy and services to the faith community.
- To give each server at least one opportunity during the three-year term to serve at various liturgical functions (e.g. funerals, Stations of the Cross, etc.).
- To encourage them to seriously consider a vocation to the priesthood or religious life.
- To instill in them a life-long desire and commitment of service to the Church and people in need.
- To assist parents in helping the boys and girls develop a sense of responsibility, dependability and accountability in commitments they make to serve.
- To enlist the aid of the parents in the instruction of their sons and daughters by reviewing with them the server booklet and the missalette and by teaching them the Mass prayers and responses.

"When you take part in the Liturgy by carrying out your altar service, you offer a witness to all. Your absorption, the devotion that wells up from your heart and is expressed in gestures, in song, in the responses: if you do it correctly and not absent-mindedly, then in a certain way your witness is one that moves people."
Pope Benedict XVI addressing altar servers on August 2, 2006 |
