Alter Servers

Home  /  Ministries  /  Alter Servers

An altar server assists the Priest every Mass. He or she is responsible for lighting the candles, carrying the cross and assisting Father during the preparation of the Eucharist. This involves bringing Father what he needs from the table to the altar and providing what is needed for the hand washing. After Communion is finished, the altar server then returns the chalice from the altar back to the table, proceeds to the rear of the church carrying the cross and Mass is over. It’s wonderful to be part of the Mass! Contact Parish Office at (860) 693-8727 for more information.
