Importance of Altar Servers
Altar servers are a very important ministry in the Church and especially here at St. Gabriel the Archangel Parish. We believe it is a great privilege to assist the priest at the Altar, and being a server means serving God and his people at Mass.
Part of the ministry of servers is to help "set the pace" for all who take part in the Mass. What they do can help others to understand the Mass better which, in turn, can make their love for God stronger. Altar Servers are very fortunate to have been chosen by God to serve during the celebration of the liturgy. Their role is very important as they are one of the closest persons to the Altar and the Priest during Holy Mass and the administration of the Sacrament.
