The role of an altar server is to assist the Priest in the celebration of the liturgy during Mass. He or she must attend to supporting tasks at the altar such as fetching, carrying, ringing the bell among other things. If this is something you feel you have a call for, would like to serve God in such way, please feel free to contact our office for more information.
The following guidelines were prepared by the Liturgy Committee and presented to the National Conference of Catholic Bishops for discussion at the June 1994 Special Assembly on Thursday, June 16, 1994. The suggested guidelines have been slightly revised according to the third edition of the General Instruction of the Roman Missal. They may be used as a basis for developing diocesan guidelines.
