Educating the Whole Child:
Mind, Body and Spirit.
The Altar Server Ministry is open to all boys and girls in Grades 4-8. This is an important and privileged ministry in the church. St. John Paul II said of altar servers:
“Your commitment to the altar is not only a duty, but a great honor, a genuine holy service … the altar server occupies a privileged place in the liturgical celebration. The altar server presents himself (herself) to a community and experiences firsthand that Jesus Christ is present and active in every liturgical act.”
Instruction in altar serving is part of the religion curriculum of the school. The support of parents is an integral part of this ministry and enables the St. Joseph and St. Agatha communities to live their mission of faith and service.
