Altar Servers Parish Contact: Aana Bendson ( 952) 469.6476
Young All Saints parishioners, grade 5 and older who have received their First Communion, are invited to become Altar Servers. Altar Servers assist the priest and deacon during Mass and therefore are part of making Mass a more reverent and prayerful experience for everyone. Altar Servers are encouraged to continue through their high school years.
It should be every Altar Server's goal to know his/her duties at Mass without prompting. It takes everyone some time and effort when you are new. It is helpful is to review the material that you received at training -- Procedures for Altar Servers at Mass is the handout that takes you through the entire Mass. It would be a good idea to look this over if you find that you need reminders from Father or another Server, or if you are just feeling unsure and would like to refresh your memory. If you do not have a copy of this, you are welcome to print a copy for yourself. Procedures for Altar Servers at Mass
- Servers & Parents Please Note:
Altar Servers are to report to the sacristy 15 minutes before the beginning of Mass.
- Finding Substitutes:
If you are unable to serve when scheduled, we appreciate that you find a substitute in a timely manner. Use the schedule to identify others who serve the same Mass time. Use the phone list to contact others about substituting for you or swapping assignments. Thank you for your involvement and commitment to this ministry!
THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE TO THE PARISH COMMUNITY!
Training opportunities are scheduled and publicized two or three times annually.
