Ministries and Groups Extraordinary of the Eucharist Sacristans Religious Choir Ushers Altar Servers Lectors and Commentators Ministry of the Sick Altar Servers English | Spanish Ministry of Altar Servers Our altar servers help priests and deacons throughout the mass. Due to them being of help to the priest, they must be attentive and at reach when needed. They are meant to dress presentable, usually in a white alb along with robes indicating the color of the ordinary time we are in. An acolyte's purpose consists of accompanying the priest at the beginning and end of mass with candles and the cross. They also help with the holding of the sacramentary when needed and during the time of the Eucharist. At the time of Communion, the acolytes are there to provide the water for the cleansing of hands, and at times assist the Father with fixing the altar for the blessing of the bread and wine. The role of an altar server can be deferred and usually consists of a team effort.

Since they dedicate themselves to learning and reading the Scriptures of the Lord, they become the teaching of what he would want all of us to be. That being, people of good spreading his teachings and love for all of us to get a new perspective on life. During Mass, the liturgy is when the Lectors step up and read from the scriptures that were once upon the reality of Jesus himself. Therefore, this makes this part of mass the most important due to the lectors spreading the word, the priest reading the Gospel, and the whole community receiving a Homily as part of an afterthought to what was learned and grasped through the Liturgical part of the Mass. Our Lectors would be the happiest to have new people on their team.
