A Redemptorist Parish
Bluffton, OH
Altar servers are a vital part of the liturgical ministry. They are vital because altar servers perform not just a functional role, but a symbolic role and symbolism is the language of worship. Their actions in the Mass are symbolic of much more than you think and the way they serve can lead people closer to God.
The role of the Altar Server is to assist the Priest in the celebration of the liturgy during Mass.
All children starting in 4th grade who have received First Communion are welcome to train as altar servers. An altar server must attend a training session before being allowed to serve Mass. After servers have completed training, they are presented with an Altar Server's Manual covering the fundamentals of serving Mass.
If you would like to become an altar server, please call the parish office: 419-358-8631
