For Centuries, young people have been called to be an integral part of the Mass. As an Altar Server, your duties will involve everything from assisting the priest with his vestments-to lighting candles, carrying the books used at mass, ringing the bells and saying prayers. To serve in this ministry, you must have made your First Communion and complete the training that is provided.
Your most important role is that of Prayer leader. Many think of prayer as a one-way conversation with God but actually it is a two-way conversation and you can help them listen, you will help the service flow smoothly and their time of worship will be more meaningful and more deeply felt through your responding. When people see you participating so actively in the Mass they will feel more comfortable about joining in themselves.
So consider joining this ministry and become a more active participant in the celebration of the Mass.
