ALTAR SERVERS
To be an altar server is a special honor and a great privilege in the Catholic Church. Altar servers today can trace their roots or genealogy to the order of Acolyte, a ministry that once was reserved only for those who were going to be ordained priests. One can look upon being an altar server as a special and unique ministry by which you, a young person, can help to spread the word and the love of Christ through your actions and words. It is not difficult to be an altar server, but there are some things that you must know and remember.
To learn more about becoming an altar server, please contact Carol Holland, Outreach Coordinator @ 508-224-3636 X125

- Girls and boys in Grade 4 and above can become altar servers for weekend and Holy Day Masses at St. Bonaventure Church. Three altar servers are scheduled for each Mass. More may be scheduled as needed for special celebrations.
- Children should:
- Be able to follow instructions
- Work with the altar server Coordinator to find Mass times that will work for them
- Be responsible to serve at their scheduled time or find their replacement if they cannot serve at their scheduled time
