The altar boys are selected by the Pastor. They are in 5th grade or older, have received the sacraments of Confession and Holy Communion, and come to Holy Mass every Sunday and Holy Day of Obligation. They participate in CCD classes regularly. In some cases, the Pastor invites to this ministry boys who are younger than 5th grade.
Altar boys serve at God’s altar during the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. Altar Boys help the Priest in the celebration of the Holy Sacrifice and enter more deeply into the mystery of the Holy Mass. One seeking to serve in this capacity should desire to grow more closely to Jesus in the Eucharist and be an example of faith and reverence among friends and during Mass. Altar boys are usually trained during summer break at daily Masses as well as at other times indicated by the Pastor. When the recruitment opens, you will hear about it at Mass. The Pastor ultimately decides who will be admitted to the altar boy ministry.
Attire: Formal - dress shoes, long pants, no jewelry. For full dress code and code of conduct see the contact information below.
