YOUTH ALTAR SERVERS

"Then I will go to the altar of God, to God my exceeding joy." (Psalm 43:4 RSV)

Pope Francis, in his most recent Apostolic Letter, reminds us that "Liturgy is about praise, about rendering thanks for the Passover of the Son whose power reaches our lives" (DD 41). To help us to better praise the Lord and experience His power during our Sacred Liturgies, we are inviting and encouraging all those who are in grades 4 and above to join our Altar Server Ministry. As an altar server, you are serving God at the altar to help make worship more beautiful, prayerful and reverent. Your ministry is very important!

This year, we will be implementing new tiers of service in our Altar Server Ministry:

1) Altar Server: Grades 4-8
2) Master Server: Grades 9-12
3) Master of Ceremonies

Each tier will have distinct responsibilities during our liturgies, especially in our celebration of the Eucharist. 

To sign up, or for more information, please contact Fr. Matt Gonzalez at frgonzalez@stbartholomewchurch.org.

We pray that you respond courageously to go up to the altar of God, to God who is our exceeding joy!
