Altar Server

ALTAR SERVER Q & A
​
What is an Altar Server?
Altar Servers hold the book for the Priest, and carry items when needed (processional cross, candles, incense, etc.) Servers also present the bread, wine, and water to the Priest during the Preparation of the Gifts,
wash the hands of the Priest, and generally assist the Priest and Deacon as necessary.


Who can be an Altar Server?
Any boy or girl who has completed First Eucharist and has finished third grade
can be an Altar Server at Holy Spirit Church.

*ADULT servers are welcome to assist at daily Mass and Funerals. Please inquire in the parish office.

How do I sign up?
Contact the Parish Office at
 hsps@spiritandsaints.org or 320-251-3764.
You will be scheduled about 2-3 times in a 3 month period.
Availability requests will be sent to you prior to the schedules being created.


How will I be trained?
Training will take place before you are scheduled for the first time. Training will include instruction on the Mass
​and its parts, as well as an explanation of the various objects used in the liturgy (their names and use),
and the various functions of the server during the Mass.


What other details do I need to know?
An instructional sheet is provided to new servers about the process of serving at Mass.
​The sheet is also posted below, for your convenience:
