Mrs. Kabash and Susan Symington are diligently working with those children who have volunteered to become Altar Servers to prepare them for this important parish ministry.
There's still plenty of room for new servers in grades 4 through 8 and including high school. Serving at the Lord's Table is an immense privilege and cannot but help bring one closer to Christ.
A photograph of all our servers who attended the Church Dedication with Bishop O'Connell and Father Manning is being printed.
Fr. Manning is also working on a commemorative coin (3d printed PLA) for the occasion which will also be presented to the servers.
Many of our altar servers were on hand for the dedication of the new church.
As a token of thanks for their service to the parish and the Lord during the Easter Triduum, the servers at any of these liturgies will receive a 3D printed model of the new church.
Father Manning designed the model from the architectural plans and printed them using the school's new 3D printer.
Our altar servers not only provide a valuable service to our community but serve as role models to our young people and Christian witnesses to everyone. Thank you.
As we prepare to move into the new church, it's time to fortify the ranks of our altar servers. We appreciate the faithful service rendered to our Lord and our parishioners by all our servers.
With a new worship space and new procedures to learn, it seems a perfect time to enlist as many of our young people who are willing to serve the Lord.
Please remember we also have a Latin mass at Holy Cross and with a sanctuary larger than our chapel, it would be well to have at least two servers at each Latin mass. In these days when second languages are taught even in elementary school, Latin isn't that hard to master. No one's Latin needs to be perfect in the beginning, since it grows on you.
An online scheduling program makes it simply to switch masses or arrange for substitutes. Watch for flyers and forms via the Wednesday envelope, through Religious Education classes or soon here on the blog.
