Altar Servers
Serving on altar at St. Patrick Parish is a privilege and comes with great responsibility. In addition to assisting the priest dur-ing weekend Masses, Holy Days of Obligation, and other litur-gical celebrations, the role of the altar server is to help the priest lead the congregation in worship. This is done by show-ing reverence in performing duties on the altar and participat-ing in Mass by saying the prayers and singing. New servers Boys from fourth grade to eight grade are invited to serve in this important ministry. The ideal server is someone who desires to serve God and who can maturely and reverently carry out the duties of an altar server.
