The Altar Server Ministry is a very special group of young people in our parish who have answered God’s call to ministry.  As an Altar Server, you are one of the liturgical ministers with an important role during the Mass or other liturgical services.  It is a privilege to minister as an altar server at Mass. Servers assist the priest at the altar and help the church community worship in the best possible way. We invite you to share this special privilege of becoming an active altar server in the parish. Altar serving isn't a volunteer role. You are responding to the call of God on your heart to serve the community as ministers.

Altar Servers must have a strong desire to serve at the Altar of Our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. You must have made your First Eucharist, be a member of St. Teresa of Avila Parish, and be at least 10 years old.  You must know how to genuflect, make the sign of the cross, be willing to pray aloud, and know the appropriate responses during Mass. It is most important as a server to be attentive, sit quietly during Mass, and show reverence at the Altar of the Lord. You must be willing to attend Mass regularly and serve on Sundays. In addition to the new altar server training, you must also attend training meetings and rehearsals for special celebrations.

NEW ALTAR SERVERS TRAINING:  Please check the bulletin for announcements regarding new altar server training.
