Benefits of Serving in the Altar Server Ministry
Altar servers, play an important role in the celebration of Holy Mass, and are a valuable asset to the priest and the parish community.
-
Love of the Liturgy – In committing to Altar Server duties, servers truly participate in the Eucharist. They learn the order of the Mass, the aspects of the sanctuary, and the various altar vessels used in the Mass.
-
Service to the Community – Through Altar Serving roles, servers contribute to the Body of Christ present in our parish. They learn that each area of ministry in the Mass is vital, from the greeters to the Extraordinary Ministers of the Eucharist. They see their role as essential and learn the importance of both commitment and of service to others.
-
Healthy Relationships with Clergy –Through Altar Serving, Altar servers have frequent interactions with our priests in a positive environment. If they are called to a priestly vocation, Altar Serving will surely be a fundamental step in their journey. If they are called to family life, their experience as servers will help them to foster a love of our faith in their own children.
To be an altar server at the Basilica of San Albino Roman Catholic Church, you must first have received the Sacrament of Reconciliation and made your First Communion.
