ALTAR SERVERS

"God nurtures this vision through individual and communal prayer. In prayer we abide in God, freely opening ourselves to listen and respond to our Lord's gracious will. The Eucharist is our fullest prayer in which Christ's faithful love makes us one. By the Eucharist, the power of Christ's sacrificial love transforms us into His real presence in the world. We celebrate this joyous belief with uplifting liturgies that transform our daily lives."  Vision of St. Mary Magdalen

The role of the Minister of the Altar is to serve the Assembly by helping the presider during the Liturgy. They help prepare the server table and light the candles before the Liturgy and assist the presider during the Liturgy.  Servers arrive 20 minutes beforehand and remain a few minutes after the Liturgy to help clean up. Those who choose this ministry must be responsible people of faith who have made their First Communion, Penance, are in the 5th grade or older.  Adults and parent/child teams are welcome to be a part of this ministry.
