Altar Servers

"Since the second century, servers have always had a place in the Eucharistic Celebration. Surely, from the very beginning of the Celebration of the Breaking of Bread there were those who prepared for the celebration, assisted at the table, and put things back in order afterwards. Servers are a very ancient tradition in the liturgical experience of the church. Within our Archdiocese of Los Angeles, in accord with permission given by the Holy See, both men and women, some younger and some older, may function as servers of Word and Sacrament."

- from the Los Angeles Archdiocesan guidelines for Altar Servers

All parish members from the fourth grade and up are welcomed. Children do not have to attend St. Martin of Tours School to become Altar Servers.

If you would like to serve, please fill out the Altar Server Registration form below and return it to the rectory.
