Altar serving is an important and community-building ministry.  

Altar servers set up the sanctuary and prepare materials required for the celebration of Mass and various other liturgies. Their primary role is to assist the archbishop, priests, and deacons to carry out the liturgy well. Their service is crucial at the Sunday Masses, at daily Mass, and at special Archdiocesan liturgies. Training for this important ministry is carried out by the present servers.
