It's that exciting time of year again for all Altar Servers! Get ready for our Altar Servers' Day.

This August, our organization is holding two of its most anticipated yearly events, starting with the Feast Day of St. Tarcisius. The theme for this year is "SIRBE: Journeying in Hope with Mary." We'll begin with a Eucharistic Celebration to honor both St. Tarcisius, our patron saint, and the Assumption of Mama Mary. This will be followed by a procession on Friday, August 15, 2025, at the Immaculate Conception Cathedral Parish.

We'd love to have the Altar Servers from your parish join us for these celebrations!

Additionally, we want to let you know that there will be a registration fee of Php 50 for the Altar Servers' Day on August 16. This fee covers event materials, snacks, and refreshments. For the dinner after the procession on August 15 and lunch on August 16, it will be a "Bring-and-Share" event per parish.

𝐉𝐨𝐢𝐧 𝐮𝐬! as we celebrate the anniversary of the Ministry of Altar Server.

“𝐒𝐈𝐑𝐁𝐄: “Called to Serve, Not to Be Served” (Mark 10:45)

Being an altar server means elevating the liturgy's beauty and solemnity, giving the congregation a more meaningful worship experience, and living a life of service and commitment. Each year of service is a year of blessings, not just for the church but for each server who has answered the call.

I am (Name), an Altar Server of (Parish)-(District), ready to be part of the celebration of a decade of grace and faithful service 🙏

SAINT TARCISIUS
Martyr of the Eucharist
Patron Saint of Altar Servers

After Mass, he took consecrated hosts to imprisoned Christians awaiting martyrdom. As a boy, he would be less suspect making the visit them were he a man.

As he traveled to the prison along the Roman road known as the Appian Way, he ran into a group of pagan boys and men who began to harass him. While they did not know, specifically, he belonged to the hidden group of Christians, they demanded he show them what he had in his hands, which were hiding in his clothes. Tarsicius refused, knowing they would likely take and desecrate the Blessed Sacrament if they got it from him. His continued refusal angered the crowd, who began to assault him. As the angry mob beat him, Tarcisius fell to the stones of the Appian Way, shielding the Host beneath his body. The mob did not relent once he fell and eventually killed him. When they rolled his body over to discover what he had been hiding, They found nothing. The Host had vanished.

PRAYER TO SAINT TARCISIUS
God, You have graciously called me to serve You upon Your altar. Grant me the graces that I need to serve You faithfully and wholeheartedly. Grant too that while serving You, may I follow the example of St. Tarcisius, who died protecting the Eucharist, and walk the same path that led him to Heaven. St. Tarcisius, pray for me and for all servers. Amen.

As we commemorate the feast day of St. Tarcisius, you are welcome to join us tomorrow, August 16, 5:00pm, at Immaculate Conception Cathedral Parish, and we will have a Holy Eucharist and Procession.

Kindly wear your vestments.
