Altar Serving at St. Martin of Tours is a privilege and carries a great responsibility. In addition to assisting the priest during weekend Masses, Holy Days of Obligation
and other liturgical celebrations, the role of an altar
server is to help the priest lead the congregation in
worship. This is done by showing reverence in
performing duties on the altar and participating in Mass by saying the prayers and singing.
