Worship Ministries

Picture

Altar Servers
Any child who has made their First Communion usually performs this ministry, and it is a ministry whereby they assist the priest in the celebration of the Eucharist, and a means to learn and grow with God.  It is also necessary to have adult servers available when time does not warrant for a child to be present, i.e. funerals, weekday Mass.
