An altar server assists in the offering of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass while providing a liturgical worship experience that is most noble and deserving of God. From transporting processional items such as the crucifix, candles, or incense, to helping prepare and clear the altar, or highlighting the most sacred moments with the ringing of bells, an altar server who is truly committed and devoted to his ministry and the glory of God can transform and elevate the liturgy in such ways that hearts and minds of participants are touched profoundly and drawn to God.
