The Altar Server Ministry at Sacred Heart embraces the role of the family in the Church, encouraging a full, conscious, and active participation in the Holy Mass as called for by the Second Vatican Council and promoted by every pope since Saint John Paul II. For children as young as 10, this ministry offers the opportunity to serve God and the Church, an experience that they can carry with them into college, the service, or any career. It teaches them discipline, reverence, and the importance of “teamwork” in building up God’s Kingdom on Earth, as they take part in the liturgy that foreshadows the heavenly liturgy, a communion with God, the angels, and the saints. Please encourage your child or children to volunteer for this wonderful opportunity to serve the Lord!
We will be welcoming and training our next group of Altar Servers on Saturday, October 4 at 11 AM in the church. The ministry is open to youth from Grade 4 through high school. We strive to accommodate family Mass preferences and obligations. Call or text Chris with any questions: 727-424-4156
