Holy Family Parish has been blessed to have many dedicated Altar Servers to assist our pastor during the Mass.
We encourage our young parishioners to sign up for Altar Server training. This is a great way to get more involved in the weekend Mass. Basic requirements for an altar server include being a baptized Catholic who has received their first Holy Communion; boys or girls should be in 3rd grade or higher and have the maturity to understand all of the responsibilities of their ministry. Additional qualifications will be discussed at the training session.
If you would like your child to serve, contact Deacon Dave.

Much of what we do for decorations is based on tradition and preference. The General Instruction of the Roman Missal (GIRM) provides direction on how the Mass should be celebrated. It is very specific about aspects of the liturgy that are to be the same everywhere but more general about other areas, leaving it to local bishops to provide guidelines. Church decorating is one of those latter areas.
If you are interested in helping decorate, please contact the parish office.
