The altar servers assist the members of the liturgical assembly, especially the priest and deacon, in celebrating Holy Mass and other sacred rites during weddings, funerals, and baptisms. They serve as role models for their peers and contribute to the overall worship experience of the community. They play an essential role in facilitating the smooth and orderly conduct of liturgical services, providing support to the clergy, and enhancing the worship experience for the congregation.

Serving at the altar helps develop a strong sense of responsibility during liturgical celebrations, including assisting the priest, setting the altar, responding and praying, incensing, helping with the offertory, and caring for liturgical items.

“Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the inheritance as your reward. You are serving the Lord Christ.” – Colossians 3:23-24
