Altar Servers at Holy Name of Mary parish are boys from 4th to 12th grades who volunteer to serve and assist the priests during the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. It is a unique and special privilege for these young men to be such an important part of the Eucharistic Celebration.
Being an altar server allows our young people an opportunity for commitment and responsibility in service to our parish and to God. As altar servers, they will develop a greater understanding of the flow and actions of the Mass. As their own faith begins to grow it is hoped that they will see God’s presence in our Liturgy and begin to appreciate the gift of the Mass and their own service. Anyone interested in becoming an altar server should contact the parish office for more information: 504-362-5511. Parental permission is required.
