Senior Altar ServersBoys of the parish are encouraged to train for the privilege of serving at the altar as a Senior Server. This follows "the noble tradition of having boys serve at the altar. As is well known, this has led to a reassuring development of priestly vocations. Thus the obligation to support such groups of altar boys will always continue." (Congregation for Divine Worship and the Sacraments, 1994) Training is conducted periodically. |
Altar ServersFollowing the Holy See's permission to allow girls to serve at the altar based upon the permission of the Bishop and pastoral considerations of the pastor, either boys or girls may train for the privilege of serving at the altar as a server. Training is conducted periodically. |

Altar Servers
Here's a chance to serve the Lord and help your CTK family out at the same time - be an Altar Server!
"The altar server's clothing is very special. It recalls the garment that each one puts on when he is welcomed in Jesus Christ in the community. I am referring to the baptismal gown, whose profound meaning Saint Paul clarifies: "For all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ" (Galatians 3:27)...
...The altar server often has a candlestick in his hand. How can one not think of that which Jesus says in the Sermon on the Mount: "You are the light of the world" (Matthew 5:14). Your service cannot be limited to the inside of a church. It must shine in everyday life: in school, in the family, and in different realms of society. Because, whoever wishes to serve Jesus Christ inside a church must be his witness everywhere." - Pope John Paul II (August 2001)
