Servers exercise a genuine
liturgical ministry. They ought therefore to discharge their office with the
sincere piety and decorum demanded by their ministry and rightly expected of
them by God's people. They must have a deep sense of the spirit of the liturgy
and be trained to perform their functions in a correct and orderly manner.
Constitution of the Sacred Liturgy 29
Serving is not for everyone. You may want to do it but when you actually do
you may find you do not like it. As a Server you have a special ministry in the
Church. It is your privilege to assist the priest at the Altar. This means that
there is a certain way that is appropriate to behave. Remember that you are
always part of the congregation even if you are sitting in a different place to
them.
A good server not only serves the Sunday Mass, but also makes themselves
available for other services. There may come a time when you no longer feel that
serving is appropriate for you and then you must approach your officers and tell them
so.
So you want to be an
Altar Server...?
