Imagine your child standing at the heart of the Mass—close to Jesus in the Eucharist, helping the priest, and leading the whole parish in prayer. That’s what it means to be an Altar Server at St. Irene and Holy Family.

This isn’t just a role. It’s a privilege, a joy, and a powerful way to grow closer to Christ

Why Your Child Will Love Being an Altar Server

• Serve Jesus up close – Light candles, carry the cross, hold the book for the priest
• Feel part of something sacred – Just like the angels in heaven (Revelation), your child helps make Mass beautiful
• Grow in confidence & faith – Learn prayers, responses, and the rhythm of the liturgy
• Be a leader in the parish – Families notice, priests rely on them, and younger kids look up to them

We welcome boys and girls who have already received their First Holy Communion.
