Altar Servers

The Altar Server ministry is open to all interested 4th graders and older who wish to be trained.  New Altar Server training is offered twice a year, once in the fall and once in the spring.  Current Altar Servers are required to attend training for recertification each fall. Altar Servers can pick the mass time that they prefer.  Schedules are prepared to assure that each mass has the required number of servers available.  Altar Servers are usually scheduled to serve at the mass they prefer, however, due to inadequate coverage, they may be rotated into a mass they do not normally attend.  Any planned absences can be scheduled in advance by completing the paper form distributed with the schedule to Tim Flagg.   For any unforeseen absences which arise after the schedule has been prepared, the Altar Server must arrange for a substitute by contacting another member of the ministry who would be willing to fill in.  For more information, contact Tim Flagg at 540-586-4051.
