Being an altar server “...is an important task that enables you to be particularly close to the Lord and to grow in true and profound friendship with Him.”

(Benedict XVI, August 4, 2010)

Have you ever considered the benefits your child will receive by serving at the altar during the Mass?

1. Being an altar server instructs children in order, care and poise. They learn to serve with love and to perform the smallest details beautifully.
2. Serving at the altar teaches children to be responsible and punctual. From an early age, they acquire good sense, and commitment to the Holy Mass.
3. Every altar server becomes skillful and efficient. If something fails or is missing during the liturgy, they’re the ones in charge of solving it with skill and speed.
4. Being an altar server fosters companionship among the children. They learn to share and distribute tasks. The older ones teach and guide the younger altar servers.
5. Serving at the altar instructs the children in the liturgy and the rich culture of the Church.
6. Serving at Mass server helps them grow in piety (participation in prayer) and fortitude (physical and spiritual dedication).
7. Being an altar server teaches children from a young age to love, revere and praise God.

Yes, my child would love to serve!
