WE ARE LOOKING FOR NEW ALTAR SERVERS TO JOIN OUR MINISTRY

Altar Servers perform a very important role in liturgical services.  This role includes assisting the presider so that the liturgy can be conducted with grace and reverence.  We are always looking for young men and women to be part of this special ministry.

We are looking for responsible, reliable altar servers who are willing to learn all altar server roles, assist as needed at special Masses and training sessions, and help lead a team of altar servers during Masses.  All volunteers must be current on their safe environment training and be registered parishioners of St.Jude Parish. 

OVERVIEW OF MINISTRY

Altar Servers perform a very important and much-needed role in liturgical services. This role includes assisting the presider so that the liturgy can be conducted with grace and reverence. It enables the presider to focus on leading all present through word, prayer and the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. The activities of the altar server include carrying lighted candles, holding books, vessels and other liturgical items, assisting during Baptisms, Weddings, Funerals, etc. The humble service of the altar server helps to eliminate distractions and enables other ministers to simplify their motions during liturgical services.  

Please start here as all volunteers of all ages will need to be current on their safe environment training.
