Altar Servers

Involvement in the Mass is a great way to get your kids interested and excited about church! At Holy Family, we value and cherish the children that come through our doors. Most of all, we love to see them up on the altar, participating in our celebration of God! Altar Servers are helpers of the Lriest during our celebration of Mass, and serve during our Eucharistic Celebration. 

Do you have a kid in middle school? If you would like them to be trained to be altar servers, contact
