Altar Serving

Altar Serving Ministry

O Lord, let my example encourage others to greater reverence. I profoundly adore Thee, really present in the Most Holy Sacrament of the altar. 

Altar Serving Ministry

Children in grades 4-12, who have received their first Holy Communion, may choose to participate in St. Monica’s Altar Server ministry. This role is a special opportunity to learn more about the Mass while assisting the priest in the Sanctuary.
