By supporting the clergy during liturgical celebrations and emulating the devotional and reverent mood, altar servers play a crucial role in our parish community. We find comradery and support among the other servers in this sacred ministry. We support one another in our pursuit of ways to deepen and enhance our knowledge of the liturgy, our faith, and our spiritual growth. We become a family, bou
nd by our shared devotion, and develop a bond that transcends the boundaries of the church. Serving as an altar server is a journey of growth and learning. Being active participants in the divine mysteries as they unfold in front of us is not just a task, but a meaningful vocation. We advance with humility and grace, carrying the torch of faith and performing our duties with the utmost precision and diligence. In the same manner as the Ministries of Lectors & Holy Communion, the Ministry of Altar Servers are appointed on a temporary basis, thus, they are commissioned, rather than instituted. Altar Servers are not to be confused with the instituted acolytes. In the Dioceses of the Philippines, these ministers are to be referred to as Altar Servers. (i.e., not sacristans, acolytes, or knights of the altar)
This page is designed to inspire, communicate, and educate you, people, about us. Here, we share our experiences on the different events happening for you to know and somewhat experience what is it like to be an Altar Server.
