Altar Servers are part of a very ancient tradition in the liturgical life of the church. Within the Archdiocese of New Orleans and OLSS, in accord with permission given by the Holy See, both men and women may function as servers of Word and Sacrament. The server assists the priest and deacon during the Eucharist and other liturgical ceremonies so that the liturgy can be conducted with grace and reverence.
Servers should be active and full participants in the celebration with the understanding that they are first and foremost members of the assembly. The Parish offers regular opportunities to learn more about the roles and responsibilities of this ministry.
If you know or are a young person in our parish interested in learning more or training as an Altar Server, please get in touch with Justin Pepin.
