Dear Parents
Your child has indicated an interest in joining our team of ALTAR SERVERS. This is a wonderful opportunity for children to develop their understanding of the Mass and to share responsibility with others in assisting at Mass, especially on the weekends. We have an excellent team of Servers of whom we are justly proud. Their discipline and performance of their duties is second to none.
There will be three initial training sessions at the church on SATURDAY 19th and 26th OCTOBER and 2nd NOVEMBER 2019. Each session will last an hour, commencing at 4:30 pm sharp.
The new Altar Servers will be commissioned at Mass on the weekend of the 9/10th November.
Once commissioned, they will be teamed up with experienced Servers and be regularly rostered at a weekend Mass of their (your) choice. They will be expected to serve when rostered.
Our Servers rely on the support and encouragement of their parents. If you are willing to assist your child become an Altar Server,please complete the below commitment and registration form to confirm that you will do all that you can to encourage him/her.
Thank you for making it possible for your child to be an Altar Server. Their service at the altar enables them to play a vital role in the action of the Mass and assists us all to worship in a more meaningful way; it also allows them to grow in their faith, to lead worship, and to learn to work with others in a team.
Yours sincerely
Fr Dat Vuong
