If you are a boy or girl in 4th grade – Middle School, you are invited to prepare for the ministry of Altar Server.

All Saints Parish offers three levels of Altar Serving

Level #1 – Acolytes

Acolytes light the candles before Mass. They are part of the opening and closing procession.  They also help set the altar, accept the gifts, offer water and towel for the priest to ceremoniously wash his hands, and clear the altar during Communion.

Level #2 –Masters of the Book

The Master of the Book sits next to the priest and holds the book when he reads the prayers. This server also helps prepare the altar, and rings the bells during the Eucharistic Prayer.

Level #3 –Lead Server

The Lead Server carries the cross during the opening and closing processions and supervises and assists the acolytes during Mass. The Lead Server also serves as Thurifer, assisting the priest and deacon whenever incense is used.
