A Franciscan Parish in the Archdiocese of Detroit

Altar Server

The role of the altar server is integral to the normal celebration of the Mass. An altar server attends to supporting tasks, such as fetching and carrying, ringing the altar bell, helping bring up the gifts, and bringing up the liturgical books, among other things.

Altar Servers, ages 10 to 110, are welcome to assist the priest at Mass. They are scheduled on a rotating basis, and training sessions are announced in the bulletin.
