Altar Servers

The Altar Servers Ministry

“…it is the liturgy through which, especially in the divine sacrifice of the Eucharist, ‘the work of our redemption is accomplished,’ and it is through the liturgy, especially, that the faithful are enabled to express in their lives and manifest to others the mystery of Christ and the real nature of the true Church.”

(Vatican II, The Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy, n.2)
