The altar servers assist the presider and clergy with a variety of tasks during the Holy Mass. 
Servers can be children, youth, adults, male or female. The minimum age requirement is 10 years old or fifth grade and strong enough to carry the processional cross and candle sticks and able to ascend steps.

Those interested in serving at the altar as a server must read through the handbook. Once completed, both child and parent must sign the committment page. Parents must support their child's interest in serving at the altar by committing to honor the published schedule and arrive 15 minutes before Mass.
