NEWS | MASTA Marks Investiture, Induction, and Recommissioning 2025
The Ministry of Altar Servers and Tarcisian Adorers of Our Lady of Grace Parish marked a significant moment on November 22, 2025 as more than 90 new members were invested, accompanied by 3 newly inducted Junior servers and 1 Senior member, together with over 70 recommissioned servers who renewed their commitment to serve. Held during a Holy Mass, the celebration became a witness of the ministryβs growth and devotion.
Before this special celebration, the members attended 7 seminars and 2 vigils. The seminars covered the following topics: Introduction to MASTA, Discipline and Decorum, Sacred Vessels and Vestments, Parts of the Mass, Liturgical Calendar, The Seven Sacraments, and a Highlight on the Holy Eucharist. These lessons, together with the vigils, helped prepare the members spiritually and taught them the true meaning of serving at the altar.
During the rite, the monastic albs of the new members were solemnly blessed, signifying their readiness to serve at the altar with purity of heart and devotion. In a touching gesture of faith and support, the parents assisted their children in wearing their monastic alb for the first time, a gesture that reminds everyone that families play a big role in supporting the faith and service of young people.
The newly inducted Juniors and Senior were also welcomed, and the recommissioned members renewed their commitment.
As the Mass ended, the entire ministry stood together as one family of young male servants, ready to continue their mission. The event marked a new beginning for many and strengthened the ministryβs promise to serve God and the Church with humility, discipline, and love.
