The All Saints Altar Server Ministry provides an opportunity for the young people of our parish to take an active role in their faith community. The Altar Server Ministry allows young parishioners to grow in the following ways: serve Christ and the Church; participate in the Liturgy; learn about the Mass and the Church; and be involved in the parish. Altar servers play an important role in all parish liturgies. Servers are boys and girls of at least 3rd Grade age who have received first Holy Communion. Servers receive annual training and typically serve once or twice a month. Coordinator – Chris Bushman
Men, women, and young adults of our parish begin the liturgy by welcoming the assembly, proclaiming the sacred scriptures, reading the Prayers of the Faithful, and making announcements. Coordinator – Dina Marie Hale
