Dear Students and Parents,

 

Being an Altar Server is a sacred privilege and an incredibly special responsibility. Altar Servers have many duties; preparing for Mass by lighting candles and helping to set up the altar, carrying books, and assisting the Priest during Mass. Most importantly, Altar Servers are leaders, setting an example to parishioners of how to participate during Mass by listening, praying, responding, and singing.

All children grade 3 and up are invited to participate in this especially important ministry. Children who are interested in becoming an altar server need to attend all three training sessions. Please note that parents need to be present for the first half of Session #1.​

 

• Session #1: Sunday, Sept. 29 from 9:30-10:30 AM

• Session #2: Sunday, Oct. 6 from 9:30-10:30 AM

• Session #3 Sunday, Oct. 20 from 9:30-10:30 AM

Adults can also be altar servers. It’s a wonderful way to share your faith with your child, and it’s a powerful witness to others.

If you and/or your child is interested, please complete the attached form and return it to the parish office or collection basket (marked “Servers”) before or at the first session on Sept. 29. Students will not be trained unless this permission slip has been turned in. If you have any questions, please contact me at the parish office or email tboulware@sacredheart-fremont.org. Thank you.

In Christ,
Tracey Boulware
Director of Music and Liturgy
