Altar Servers

  "He that is faithful in the smallest of things is also faithful in the greatest."
- Pope John Paul VI
 
 
This is a wonderful opportunity to become a special part of the liturgy. Altar servers play an extremely important role at the celebration of Mass at Our Lady of Mercy. Besides assisting the celebrant, altar servers also support the congregation in their worship by their prayerful and reverent actions. The servers carry the Cross, help to set the altar and hold the Sacramentary for the celebrant.
