    SAINT BASIL THE GREAT ALTAR SERVER MANUAL Prayers of an Altar Server O God, You have graciously called me to serve You upon Your altar. Grant me the graces that I need to serve You faithfully and wholeheartedly. Grant too that while serving You, may I follow the example of St. Tarcisius, who died protecting the Eucharist, and walk the same path that led him to Heaven. St. Tarcisius, pray for me and for all servers. ALTAR SERVER'S PRAYER Loving Father, Creator of the universe, You call Your people to worship, to be with You and each other at Mass. Help me, for You have called me also. Keep me prayerful and alert. Help me to help others in prayer. Thank you for the trust You've placed in me. Keep me true to that trust. I make my prayer in Jesus' name, who is with us in the Holy Spirit. Amen. 1 PLEASE SIGN AND RETURN THIS TOP SHEET IMMEDIATELY To the Parent/ Guardian of ______________________________(server): Thank you for supporting your child in volunteering for this very important job as an Altar Server. Being an Altar Server is a great honor – and a responsibility. Servers are responsible for: a) knowing when they are scheduled to serve, and b) finding their own coverage if they cannot attend. (email can help) The schedule is emailed out, prior to when it begins. The schedule is available on the Church website, and published the week before in the Church Bulletin. We have attached the, “St. Basil Altar Server Manual.” After your child attends the two server training sessions, he/she will most likely still feel unsure about the job – that’s OK.

DEFINITION OF ALTAR SERVER It is a great privilege to serve at the Altar of our God and therefore Servers are chosen from those who display a desire for a more intimate relationship with our Lord and God, Jesus Christ who becomes present on the Altar, just as He was at the Last Supper. Accordingly, Servers have a solemn responsibility to do their assigned duties with dignity and reverence. Our parish has Altar Servers (boys and girls), who were baptized Catholic, have made their communion, in third grade or higher and have completed the altar servers training. Servers are encouraged to continue for as long as they will serve. All servers should come to Mass regularly and have a desire to serve at the Altar and assist Father in Mass. Servers are generally scheduled once a month but this may fluctuate according to needs. HOW SHOULD I DRESS WHEN I SERVE? † Clothes should be appropriate for church. Also, remember that it can get very warm while serving so dress according.

  • St. James Community of Faith the Ministry of Acolyte Fall, 2016
    St. James Community of Faith The Ministry of Acolyte Fall, 2016 Ministry, is first of all, receiving God’s blessing from those to whom we minister. What is this blessing? It is a glimpse of the face of God. ~Henri Nouwen Acolyte Ministry You are volunteering as a server at church. You light candles, hold the books, handle the vessels, and arrange the cloths. You help the other ministers focus on their work by simplifying their motions and eliminating distractions. You help the entire community celebrate Eucharist by your humble service. Your actions may seem routine, but everyone depends on you to do them without flash. When you serve well, no one notices you. People only notice when things go awry. Still, the Church relies on the assistance of adult servers. Whether in parishes, convents, monasteries, or chapels, adults serve Mass. They join in the prayer, and they assure the smooth execution of the liturgy. 1. Theology and History of the Server The word Eucharist means "thanksgiving". It comes from a Greek word. To this day, when modern Greeks say, "Thank you," they say Eucharisto." It is one of the most used words in the language. Mass is an act of thanksgiving. Through it we call to mind the great deeds God has done for us, and we express our gratitude for them. We do this especially in the prayers. The word Mass means "sending". It comes from the Latin words that conclude the service: Ite, missa est. It has been translated many ways, such as "Co forth, the Mass is ended." Or, more freely, "Go in peace, glorifying the Lord by your life." "Go, you have been sent." We call this part of Mass the dismissal, but it is not just a "sending from." It is a "sending to." We are not just ending our time of prayer together.

  • Guidelines for Lectors Archdiocese of New York
    October 2014 Guidelines for Lectors Archdiocese of New York Prepared by the Office of Liturgy of the Archdiocese of New York The Guidelines which follow are intended to offer a synthesis of ecclesial documentation concerning the role of the lector within the celebration of the sacred liturgy. As well, they highlight several aspects of this ministry as it is to be carried out within the Archdiocese of New York. These guidelines are directed primarily to pastors and others who oversee the ministry of lectors in the Archdiocese of New York. !1 October 2014 History and Role of the Lector Since the earliest days of the Church, Christians have gathered together to hear the Word of God proclaimed within the celebration of the liturgy. Over the centuries, various groups of persons have been entrusted with this task of reading the Word of God. For example, in the second century, the church began to develop a number of "minor orders." Those who received these orders were responsible for performing various ministerial functions in the liturgy, including that of reading the Word of God. In the first centuries of the Church's history, these lectors were often laymen. However, by the early middle ages, those who were enrolled in the minor order of lector were predominantly clerics studying for the priesthood. In 1972, as a part of the post-conciliar liturgical renewal, Pope Paul VI replaced the minor orders with the ministries of lector and acolyte (Ministeria quaedam). Following the ancient tradition of the Church, these ministries were reserved to men. However, those who exercised these ministries were no longer to be ordained, but simply instituted into these roles.

  • Acolyte Training Information
    When you serve God by serving as an acolyte, you are doing more than carrying a flame to the altar candles. You are symbolically bringing the light of Christ’s spirit into the worship service. I hope that by serving as an acolyte, you will be filled with a sense of spiritual meaning and fulfillment. You will make new friends, have fun, and through your commitment grow in service to our church. I hope this manual will provide a quick reference for you as you begin your journey as an acolyte. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact our acolyte coordinator, Jill Ingram @ 650-8607 or [email protected]. You have made an important promise to First United Methodist Church by agreeing to serve as an acolyte. I welcome you and thank you for helping in this very significant position. Background An acolyte is a person who assists in the worship service. Normally, the acolyte serves by lighting and extinguishing the candles on the altar table and by carrying in the cross. Occasionally, an acolyte also may assist in other portions of the worship service. It is the custom in our church for acolytes to be young boys and girls who are in about the third through seventh grades. However, teens and adults also may serve as acolytes. DID YOU KNOW? The acolyte ministry originated from Old Testament times. The Scriptures tell us of the prophet Samuel assisting Eli the priest, and of Elijah being assisted by Elisha. The word “acolyte” comes from the Greek word “akolouthos,” which means a servant or attendant who waits on another.

A PENITENTIAL ORDER Officiantt: Bless the Lord who forgives all our sins. People: His mercy endures for ever. Officiant: Jesus said, “The first commandment is this: Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God is the only Lord. Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength. The second is this: Love your neighbor as yourself. There is no other commandment greater than these.” Let us confess our sins against God and our neighbor. All: Most merciful God, we confess that we have sinned against you in thought, word, and deed, by what we have done, and by what we have left undone. We have not loved you with our whole heart; we have not loved our neighbors as ourselves. We are truly sorry and we humbly repent. For the sake of your Son Jesus Christ, have mercy on us and forgive us; that we may delight in your will, and walk in your ways, to the glory of your Name. Amen. Officiant: Almighty God have mercy on you, forgive you all your sins through our Lord Jesus Christ, strengthen you in all goodness, and by the power of the Holy Spirit keep you in eternal life. Amen. TRISAGION Hymnal S-100 COLLECT OF THE DAY Almighty God, you know that we have no power in ourselves to help ourselves: Keep us both outwardly in our bodies and inwardly in our souls, that we may be defended from all adversities which may happen to the body, and from all evil thoughts which may assault and hurt the soul; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.
