LOOK | Service does not begin at the altar—it begins with a willing heart.

United by faith and a shared mission, our Altar Servers came together to help prepare and decorate the church for the upcoming Misa de Gallo. Through teamwork, sacrifice, and joyful service, they offered not just their time and effort, but their hearts to God.

This is service beyond the altar—this is faith in action. 🙏

With joyful hearts, we invite everyone to join us in the celebration of the Misa de Aguinaldo 2025 at the Archdiocesan Shrine and Parish of Saint Joseph the Worker.

📅 December 16–24, 2025
⏰ 4:00 AM

As we prepare for the coming of our Lord, let us gather as one community in prayer, sacrifice, and hope offering our early mornings as a sign of faith and love for God.

Let us walk together as pilgrims of hope, welcoming Christ who comes to dwell among us. Everyone is invited. 🙏

Let us prepare our hearts in prayer and quiet reflection as we await the coming of Christ.

May this Misa de Aguinaldo draw us closer to God and deepen our faith as one Church.

Commissioning and Investiture Rites of the New Members of the Ministry of Altar Servers and the Recommissioning of the Old Members | Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary

Today, as we celebrated the Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary, we were reminded of Mary’s profound yes—a yes that welcomed Jesus into the world and opened the way for our salvation.

In that same spirit, our Altar Servers renewed their commitment in the Recommissioning Rite, offering once more their yes to serve God faithfully and wholeheartedly at His altar.

We also welcomed our new aspirants in the Commissioning and Investiture Rites. We pray for them as they begin their journey of service—
that one day, some of them may enter the seminary and become future priests of the Church.

Mary said yes to carrying Christ.
Today, we say yes to serve Him.
And our aspirants say yes to begin their mission.

O Mary, conceived without sin, pray for us. 💙🕊️

Altar Servers Month Celebration 2025

The Ministry of Altar Servers of St. Joseph the Worker Parish and Shrine meaningfully concluded the Altar Servers Month celebration last August 30, 2025.

The month of August is dedicated to the month of Altar Servers because it is linked to the feast day of Saint Tarcisius, the Patron Saint of Altar Servers.
Saint Tarcisius is a young boy who was martyred in the 3rd century for protecting the Blessed Sacrament. His story makes him a powerful patron and inspiration for all altar servers.

As we celebrate the Altar Servers Month, we honor the dedication, humility, and the services of our Altar Servers in assisting the Priests in the celebration of the Holy Mass and other liturgical celebrations.

Let us continue to pray for our Altar Servers, that they may persevere in their vocation of serving the altar of the Lord. We also pray so that many of them will respond to the call to the Vocation to the Priesthood.
