Pope John Paul II said that Altar Servers are “ . . . servants of Jesus Christ, the eternal high priest.  Therefore, you are called in a particular way to be young friends of Jesus.”

This ministry is not only an opportunity to educate our children to help the church by being altar servers, it is also an opportunity to train them in the virtues, while at the same time getting trained in their faith.  All boys and girls in grades 3 to 12 who are members of St. Andrew Parish and who have received the sacrament of First Holy Communion are invited to participate as Altar Servers at the Saturday, Sunday, weekday and Holy Day Masses.  Altar Servers are scheduled to serve Mass on a rotating basis at their preferred Mass time.

Training sessions are required for every NEW server.  All sessions are conducted in the church, and parents must attend the first 15 minutes with their child.
