Did you know that Pope Leo XIV was an altar server? He actually started when he was about 6 years old. We ask that our servers begin when they are in the 3rd grade or above and many continue all the way through high school. AGP is going to be training a new group of servers over two days in October. An important part of our liturgical celebrations, this is a great way for Catholic boys and girls to serve God and his church. In addition, serving at the altar teaches them about spiritual reverence, discipline, and responsibility. It fosters a deeper connection to their faith, develops valuable life skills such as punctuality and teamwork, and encourages service to the church community. It can also inspire leadership, provide opportunities for friendship, and increase their understanding of the Mass. Many use it as an opportunity for the public service hours they need in later grades, since they are at Mass anyway.

We will be training new servers from 4rd through 12th grade over two days in October. They will take place at Holy Trinity Church, though the actions will be the same at all three churches.

For Day One Training you can choose either Wednesday, October 14 from 3:00 to 5:00 OR Sunday, October 18 from 1:45 to 3:45

Day Two can either be Wednesday, October 21 from 3:00 to 5:00 OR Sunday, October 25 from 1:45 to 3:45
You can choose each week according to your schedule, but must include a Day 1 and Day 2.
