Altar Servers
Altar Servers have a rich heritage, going back to Jesus himself. In fact, Jesus sent two of his disciples to prepare the Passover (Last Supper) for Himself and the Twelve. Over the centuries, ceremonies evolved and specially trained assistants called Acolytes became common. Today we have our altar servers, who love Jesus, love the Mass and want to give their time and talents in the service of God and his Church.
