Hello All,

Over the last 6 months, we have had a new crop of Altar Servers, which is great for us and I appreciate you, as parents, for bringing them to church to serve during Liturgy.

Some of the Altar servers are new so I wanted to have a workshop to review those things that are important when serving in the Altar.

Ron, Juan, and I have prepared a small Altar Server workshop which we plan to hold after the Liturgy of Holy Cross on Saturday, Sept. 14th that will run from after the Elevation of the Holy Cross Divine Liturgy (around 11:30) until 3pm.

Below is the agenda of the items we’re going to review. I have also attached an Altar Server Handbook to review with your kids to help them prepare. I appreciate your support and know that this will be very helpful for our Altar Servers.
