Altar Servers
One of the traditional ministries in the church is that of Altar Servers. They serve God at the altar in a unique way, adding to the reverence of the liturgy.
Last year we began to recruit and train new servers to much acclaim. All the servers were a great credit to their families and themselves. Now, after the summer break, they will be returning along with many new servers who have come forward to be part of this ministry in our parish. We have contacted our schools, however, if any child from third to sixth class wishes to join, please contact their teacher or the parish office.
We look forward to welcoming back our current and new servers in the coming weeks.
Our commitment to safeguarding remains a priority in our parish, and we adhere to the highest standards across all our ministries.
