Altar Servers

We are pleased that you wish to become an Altar Server for Blessed Frédéric Ozanam Parish.  This is an important ministry which enhances the celebration of Mass.  Altar Serving is one of the ways our young people can begin to live out their Baptism promises by serving others and witnessing to their faith in Jesus Christ. 

SIGN UP

The role of the Altar Server is to assist the Priest in the celebration of the liturgy during Mass.  Some of the altar server responsibilities include:

• Caring for the altar candles
• Bearing the cross and candles in the entrance procession
• Assisting with holy water, water, wine and offertory gifts at Mass
• Ringing of the bells during the Consecration
• Assist the priest celebrant as necessary

All children grades 4 - 12 are welcome to train as altar servers.  Altar servers should be responsible, mature and dedicated to serve at the Altar of the Lord. 

Each altar server is provided with a schedule and proper training. Scheduling is flexible.  Altar servers should arrive and be vested at least 10 minutes before Mass.  Duties after Mass require another 10 minutes.

We wish to invite all who may wish to assist in this important ministry of the church to email: [email protected]
