On August 12, 2001, Pope John Paul II addressed a gathering of young altar servers in Rome and in part said,

"The altar server occupies a privileged place in the liturgical celebration.  The altar server presents himself to a community and experiences firsthand that Jesus Christ is present and active in every liturgical act.  Jesus is present when the community comes together to pray and render praise to God.” 

At St. Paul’s Newman Center, we invite young and old, male and female parishioners to be trained in this area of ministry if they feel so led.

To join this particular area of ministry, you will be trained before beginning, and as with our other areas of liturgical ministry, you will be added to a rotating schedule that fits with your family’s normal Liturgy attendance time.  

If you feel called to serve our community as an Altar Server,
please contact Jake Hayden.
