Items to Remember for Altar Servers



Wear dress pants (or skirt) and shirt

Wear dress shoes not sneakers, boots (excluding dress boots) or flip flops

Attempt to walk and sit (together) at the same time

Always have your hands folded when you are walking

Sit up straight and have a pleasant look on your face; No yawning

Sing during Mass; You are an example for others

Pay attention

It is okay to make a mistake

Arrive 15 minutes prior to the start of Mass

If you arrive late and someone has been asked to serve in your place, then they will serve in your place and you will have to wait until your next scheduled turn to serve

If you are not scheduled to serve at Mass, and you see or hear that help may be needed, ask the MC if they need your help in serving

If asked to serve when not scheduled to serve, please assist

If you cannot serve once the schedule is released, it is your responsibility to find a substitute

For the schedule, check the church web site: http://svdpparish.org

Phone list will be provided via email
