Altar servers are an important part of the Roman Catholic liturgy. They are responsible for assisting the priest during Mass and other liturgical celebrations. Altar servers perform a variety of tasks, including carrying the processional cross, holding the book of the Gospels, and preparing the altar for the Eucharistic celebration. Altar servers also help to ensure that the liturgy runs smoothly by assisting the priest and other ministers as needed. Serving at the altar is a way for young people to grow in their faith and to participate more fully in the life of the Church. Altar servers are often trained by experienced servers or by the parish priest, and are typically boys and girls between the ages of 7 and 18. By serving at the altar, young people are able to learn about the liturgy and the sacraments, develop leadership skills, and deepen their relationship with Christ. Altar serving is a vital ministry in the Roman Catholic Church, and those who serve in this ministry are an integral part of the Church's worship and mission.
