Altar Servers

It is a great honor and privilege to serve at the Altar of our Lord and therefore your participation as an Altar Server is special. When you serve the priests and deacons, you serve the people of God, and above all, you serve Christ.

As an Altar Server, you are involved in the holiest and most sacred event in our tradition of Catholic worship. Other than priests and deacons, no one else is allowed to play a part so closely in the preparation of the Eucharist. During the Mass, our Savior becomes truly present on the altar. It is a great mystery, but it lives at the core of our faith. It is important that you, as an Altar Server, be attentive and sensitive to the presence of God while performing your ministry around the altar.

Servers must remember that everything that they do is for the Glory of God. As an Altar Server, you will do things that others will never do. You will learn things that others will never know. You will see the Mass in ways that others may never see it. You will do it all for the Honor and Glory of God.

Accordingly, Altar Servers have a solemn responsibility to do their assigned duties with the utmost dignity and reverence. At Immaculate Conception Church we have both boys and girls, men and women as Altar Servers.  Server may begin after their first communion and continue for as long as they would like to serve. All children of God of good faith are welcome and those who think they may desire to serve are encouraged to do so.

Baptized Catholics who have received their First Communion and are interested in becoming an altar server, please contact the church office.
