A training session for altar servers will take place this Thursday afternoon at 2 p.m. in the church. If you are entering grades 4-12, please consider participating in this important ministry. We need to add several more altar servers to our roster, so we're counting on your help! The training session should last about 90 minutes.

If you are entering grades 4-12 and would like to be trained as an altar server, please call the parish office ASAP and give Stefani a list of possible dates and times you would be able to attend a training session. We will then try to schedule the training for a time when everyone can attend. Thank you!

If you are an altar server, lector, Communion minister, or usher, please take a moment to add your name to the sign-up sheets on the table in the narthex and indicate your availability for our Holy Thursday, Good Friday, Easter Vigil, and Easter Sunday liturgies.
