Altar Server Training Notes

 

  • Arrive 10 to 15 minutes before Mass. Servers have time to be dressed and ready to serve before Mass. This allows time for Priest and Deacon to go over any additions for that mass.
  • Alb should come about 2 inches above the ankle. Please advise your child when they have grown into the next size. Albs should not be mid-calf.
  • Processional Cross: When it is time to bring up the gifts the Cross Bearer must go down the center aisle. Going toward the back, the cross must be held with both hands and held up. This so the community knows that the Bread and Wine which represents their gifts will be presented to the Priest.
  • After the servers helps the Deacon prepare the Altar with bread and wine, servers then go down to the kneelers.
  • Cross Bearer kneels on the kneeler closest to the altar with the bells. After communion the Cross bearer helps the Priest and Deacon clear the Altar.
  • Bells – the bells are to be rung three times
  • three times during the epiclesis
  • three times when the host is raised
  • three times when the chalice is raised
