Interested catechism students preparing for First Holy Communion will be considered on an individual basis. All candidates must have the commitment and ability to perform this role with reverence. Scheduling The Altar Server Schedule will typically be set for an entire month. Prior to creating the schedule, the Altar Server Coordinator will send an email requesting availability; please reply as soon as possible. There should be 4 Servers for each Mass. Even if you are not assigned, please check in with the Coordinator when arriving at Mass, in case a scheduled Altar Server is absent. In addition, there will be special services throughout the year which will require Altar Servers, such as Holy Days and Sacramental Masses. You may be asked to serve but this will be scheduled as needed. Dress Please remember that your job is to Serve the Priest and Deacon without drawing attention to yourself. Attire: While serving, wearing a white shirt, black pants, and black shoes is preferred. They tend to be less noticeable while worn under an alb. Avoid bright colors. Hair: Long hair should be placed behind your shoulders so it does not interfere with your duties. Jewelry: Avoid wearing anything that will make noise and/or will be distracting to you or anyone else. 3 Conduct To allow for dressing, prayer time, and any last-minute instructions, please arrive to your assigned Mass at least 20 minutes prior to its scheduled start. If you have been scheduled and cannot serve at a Mass (for example, due to illness), please call or text your Altar Server Coordinator as soon as possible, so an alternate can be found to take your place without delay. An Altar Server will be considered absent and will be substituted with an alternate if s/he fails to arrive 10 minutes prior to the Mass. We have many people who assist in our Masses, such as Sacristans, Lectors, and Ushers. If any of these ministers attempt to give you instructions, thank them and ask that they speak with your Altar Server Coordinator first before changing anything that you have been instructed to do. The exception to this rule is the Priest presiding at the Mass. Remember... he is ultimately in charge of the Mass: you should follow his instructions without hesitation. For example, when the Priest stands, you stand, unless you are kneeling for the Consecration or if the Priest tells you to sit. Although it may sound obvious, to be an Altar Server, you must want to serve at the Altar of God, with the support of your parents. An Altar Server who is reluctant, disinterested or bored can be a distraction during the Mass. During the Mass, your attention should always be on the Priest. If you have any doubts, look towards your Coordinator. If someone is speaking from the Ambo, you listen but still focus on the Priest. Avoid looking around the congregation for people you may know. 4 Try to maintain a good posture during the Mass. Avoid slouching. While standing or kneeling, your hands should always be placed in a prayerful manner: fingers and thumbs together, palm on palm, right thumb over left thumb with hands resting on your chest. While sitting, keep your hands in your lap. Don’t cross your legs. Your feet should be flat on the floor in front of you (if they reach). Your hands should not be touching your hair or face during Mass. If you have to sneeze, cough or yawn you should use the bend in your arm. Remember… you should set an example for how people are to act at Mass. Keep conversation with your fellow Altar Servers to a minimum. Whisper to each other just enough to get your responsibilities done. There will be opportunities after the Mass to “catch up” with your friends. Remember… your job is not to be noticed, but to serve God and his Church. 5 The Altar Server at Mass Prior to Mass, the Altar Server Coordinator needs to make sure the Sacristan has arranged the Credence Table: When Altar Servers arrive to serve, they check in with the Coordinator, go to the Alb Cabinet in the Sacristy, find an alb that best fits and put it on. The alb should hit the tops of the shoes without the sleeves covering the hands. The server consults the calendar in the Sacristy to determine what color cincture to wear. Once dressed in an Alb, the Altar Server should say the “Before Mass” Prayer posted on the door of the cabinet: Oh Jesus, my King and Lord, by the grace of the heavenly Father and the power of the Holy Spirit, guide me in all righteousness as I serve You today at the Altar so I may be always worthy of Your presence. If I happen to make an error, may it be a lesson so my service will be perfect tomorrow. Jesus, I love you with all my heart. Amen After praying, the Altar Server leaves the Sacristy and checks back in with the Coordinator. When all Altar Servers are prepared and present, the Coordinator determines the assignment of the 4 Altar Server positions (referred to in this document as AS1, AS2, AS3 and AS4). 6 AS1 removes the Crucifix from the stand near the Altar Server chairs and returns to the Coordinator. AS2 & AS3 removes an Altar Candle from one of the stands beside the Altar and returns to the Coordinator. When Mass is about to begin, the Coordinator lights the Altar Candles for AS2 & AS3. Entrance Procession AS1 is in front carrying the Crucifix. AS2 is behind AS1’s left shoulder. AS3 is behind AS1’s right shoulder. AS4 follows AS2 & AS3, followed by any additional Altar Servers/trainees. The Lectors, Deacon and Priest will follow. 7 As the Coordinator or Usher temporarily stops people from entering the Church (Nave), the Altar Servers start processing through the double doors (AS1 must dip the Crucifix so as not to hit the top of the door jamb). They process down the back aisle and turn at the center aisle: When the Priest reaches the back aisle, the Coordinator or Usher can allow people into the Nave again. Regarding bowing to the Altar: an Altar Server should always bow to the Altar when approaching or passing it, unless they are holding something. When reaching the Altar, AS1 turns to the left, walks up the ramp, places the Crucifix in its holder, then stands in front of his/her seat. When AS2 & AS3 reach the Altar, AS2 carries the Altar Candle to the left of the Altar. AS3 carries the Altar Candle to the right of the Altar. AS2 & AS3 place their Altar Candles into their holders, then meet behind the center of the Altar. They bow to the Altar together, turn to the right (AS2 should be in front of AS3) and go directly and stand in front of their seats. When reaching the Altar, AS4 bows to the altar, turns left and goes directly and stands in front of his/her seat. While standing, an Altar Server’s hands should be placed in a prayerful manner: fingers and thumbs together, palm on palm, right thumb over left thumb with hands resting on your chest. The Introductory Rites Sign of the Cross 8 Greeting The Lord be with you. And with your spirit. Penitential Act I confess to almighty God... And, striking their chest, the people say: through my fault, through my fault, through my most grievous fault; therefore ... May almighty God have mercy on us, forgive us our sins, and bring us to everlasting life. Amen. You were sent to heal the contrite of heart: Lord, have mercy. Lord, have mercy. You came to call sinners: Christ, have mercy. Christ, have mercy. You are seated at the right hand of the Father to intercede for us: Lord, have mercy. Lord, have mercy. The Gloria Glory to God in the highest... Amen. 9 AS4 should have the Lectionary in his/her lap, looking for the Priest’s signal to walk behind the Altar (do not bow), and stand in front of him holding the Lectionary: Opening Prayer (The Collect) Let us pray... Amen. AS4 then returns the Lectionary to the book stand. When the Priest sits, the Altar Servers can sit, with their hands in their laps, paying attention to the Priest. At this point, the Priest may call up children to attend Children’s Liturgy of the Word. 10 The Liturgy of the Word First Reading The word of the Lord. Thanks be to God. Psalm Second Reading The word of the Lord. Thanks be to God. When the Priest and/or Deacon stands, all Altar Servers must stand. AS2 & AS3 should walk behind the Altar, bowing together, and retrieve the Altar Candle they processed with. The Priest or Deacon will raise the Book of the Gospels. AS2 walks with the Priest/Deacon to AS3: 11 Together, the Priest or Deacon, AS2 & AS3 walk to the Ambo: 12 AS2 & AS3 should stand on either side of the Ambo with their Altar Candles level with each other, near but not touching the Ambo: Gospel The Lord be with you.

  • Thurifer Procedures V2
    Thurifer Procedures March 31, 2021 INTRODUCTION “Thurification or incensation is an expression of reverence and of prayer, as is signified in Sacred Scripture” (GIRM, 276). Incense is one of the oldest and richest signs of prayer and worship in our liturgy. We read about frankincense as one of the gifts of the Magi at the nativity of Our Lord. We read of the prayers of the faithful rising as incense in the throne-room of heaven in Revelations. It is a fragrant perfume offered to God. Incense is made from gum olibanum, a precious resin from the boswellia carterii bush in Southern Arabia. To this basic ingredient other spices are added to vary the perfume. The grains of incense, carried in the boat, are scooped into the thurible by the priest where they are burned on charcoal disks to create the incense smoke. Per the General Instruction of the Roman Missal (GIRM, 276), incense may be used optionally at any Mass: a) during the Entrance Procession; b) at the beginning of Mass, to incense the cross and the altar; c) at the procession before the Gospel and the proclamation of the Gospel itself; d) after the bread and the chalice have been placed on the altar, to incense the offerings, the cross, and the altar, as well as the Priest and the people; e) at the elevation of the host and the chalice after the Consecration. There is a long liturgical tradition of service at the altar for lay ministers (non- clergy), including lectors, sacristans, and altar servers. Thurifer is one of the more solemn and important roles for altar servers.

  • Altar Server Instructions
    ALTAR SERVER INSTRUCTIONS Transfiguration Catholic Church APRIL 19, 2018 Rev. 4/19/2018 THE MINISTRY OF ALTAR SERVER It is a great privilege to serve at the Altar of our God and therefore Servers are on- ly chosen from among those who display a desire for a more intimate union with our Lord and God, Jesus Christ. Our loving Savior becomes present on the Altar as He was present at the Last Supper and at Calvary. Accordingly, Servers have a solemn responsibility to carry out their assigned duties with dignity and rever- ence. Transfiguration Catholic Church has Altar Servers, both boys and girls, who may start serving after their First Communion. CODE OF CONDUCT FOR ALTAR SERVERS Altar Servers must be mindful of the sacredness of their duties at all times. Therefore, they should refrain from socializing and unnecessary talk before and during Mass. Quarreling or disputes over the assignment of duties are never appropriate and indicate that one is not ready to continue in this ministry. Servers must be on time for their assigned Mass. Servers who know in advance that they will be absent from an assigned Mass must recruit their substitutes from the list of Altar Servers and then inform the Director of Altar Servers of the substitution. DRESS CODE FOR ALTAR SERVERS Shoes: Dress shoes should be worn, preferably black or brown shoes for boys and brown, black or white for girls. Tennis shoes, sneakers and sandals are not right for the altar. Hair: Hair should be neat and trimmed, appropriate for boys and girls. Jewelry: Do not wear anything that will make noise or will be distracting or that will cause you to have problems serving.

  • Serving in the Liturgy: Eucharistic Ministers and Acolytes
    Serving in the Liturgy: Eucharistic Ministers and Acolytes About your role: Hearty thanks to you for joining in this ministry of the church, and congratulations! You have taken on an important role. When you serve in the altar party, you help the whole congregation worship. You facilitate the progress of the service, and help cue the congregation about what to do. Your ongoing attention throughout the service and your attention to your own comportment both assist in accomplishing your tasks. Good posture, a pleasant expression, and prompt responses are commended. Please follow the Celebrant’s cues and bow and cross yourself when she does. It looks nice when we do these things together. Again, your willingness to serve in this ministry is greatly appreciated. I believe you will find yourself blessed in offering this service. Acolytes and Eucharistic Ministers: The How-To Rules of thumb: It is appropriate to reverence the altar (bow) when you first approach the altar, and when you leave it. If you are unsure of anything during the service, look to the celebrant and follow her/his cues. If the celebrant is unsure of anything during the service, please do your best to cue her/him. If you’re turning to face the congregation, turn toward the center (if you’re on the right facing the altar, turn to your left, and vice versa). If you’re standing at center, turn toward your right. Before the Service: Please arrive at least fifteen minutes prior to the service vest (alb and cincture for EMs). Cincture is knotted at the left side, tied at the waist.
