The altar servers perform a variety of tasks to assist the presider and clergy in the celebration of the Mass. Servers can be children, youth, adults, male or female. The minimum age requirement is 8 years old, and you must be strong enough to carry the processional cross and candle sticks. Parents should encourage our kids and the youth to share in this ministry as they are the future of Our Lady of Sorrows Parish. It is necessary, after all, to ensure that our young members are not left behind in serving the Lord and serving their church.
Those interested in serving at the altar will be trained and given a handbook. Also if you would like to be in charge of the altar servers, or to help in training and accompanying them, please let us know.
If you are interested in serving as an altar server, contact Fr. Chrispine today at (503) 775-6731, Ext. 106, frchrispine@olspdx.org, or talk with him after Mass.
