Those interested in becoming Altar Servers must currently be enrolled in the 4th through 12th grade (born prior to September 30, 2006) and practicing their Catholic faith (Baptized and have received the Sacrament of First Communion). Registration will take place in the narthex of church. We ask that at least one parent accompany their child; there are registration forms to be completed and also information necessary for parents throughout this initial training.
