Altar Servers

The Altar Server Ministry is for young people (grades 4 - 12) and adults of our parish to carry the cross, the processional candles, hold the book for the priest celebrant when he is not at the altar, carry the incense and thurible, present the bread, wine, and water to the priest during the preparation of the gifts, or assist him when he receives the gifts from the people, wash the hands of the priest, assist the priest celebrant and deacon as necessary. (www.usccb.org) Training is held periodically. 
All Altar Servers, age 14 and up, must be Safe Environment Trained. Safe Environment - Holy Family Catholic Church - Fort Worth, TX (ecatholic.com)
