The Church teaches us that Mass is the “source and summit” of Christian Life. Jesus instituted the Eucharist as the memorial of his death and resurrection, and commanded his apostles to celebrate it until his return saying: 

“Do this in memory of Me.”

It is through our Baptism as Catholics that we are called to be disciples of Christ and to participate in Mass every Sunday and Holy Day. Being part of the Ministry of Altar Servers, you are called by the Lord in a very special way to participate in the Mass. You will help by preparing for Mass and assisting the Priest & Deacon at the altar during Mass. The Altar Server will also help in leading the people in prayer, song, responses, and when to sit/stand/kneel.

Altar Serving is a great ministry to begin volunteering in the church. St. Thomas Aquinas welcomes all children from grades 3 and up, who have received the Sacrament of First Holy Communion to consider joining this Ministry.
