A Senior Server is any person, man or woman, over the age of 16 who would like to assist the presiding Priest during Mass. This is a new Ministry at our parish. The Senior Server will serve on the altar with Father assisting him during Mass. The Senior Server will oversee the young altar servers while assist Father when needed. The Senior Server will greatly help Father so he can concentrate on the mass and not worry about the incidentals of the mass. This position is ideal for those who were altar servers 5, 10, 25, or 50 years ago or anyone new who would be willing to learn this Ministry. As the Mass has not changed all too much, the training should be quite easy.

Most of the altar servers at St. Mary Mystical Rose are young people. Boys and girls must be in the third grade or older to serve in this Ministry. Servers are asked to select a Mass time that their family attends on a regular basis so that their attendance and service will be consistent.

God is at the center of that relationship, to bring hope, comfort, understanding and empathy to the person who is hurting, and does not know where to turn.
