Be sure your parents know that you need to get to church early. When you are scheduled to serve, arrive at least 20 minutes before Mass. You’ll need to get vested, get the cross and candles ready and ring the bells before beginning the procession. Please be sure you have a Missal at your seat to follow along with the prayers and songs.
When you attend a Mass that you are not scheduled for, and you notice that the Altar Servers have not arrived, please be sure to go to the Sacristy and ask if they need help.
