Nativity Altar Servers begin training at the end of the fourth-grade. They are initially trained as Junior Servers. After a period of time, usually the beginning of their 6th-grade year, they are trained as Senior Servers. Servers who show a particular aptitude are then trained as Master of Ceremonies. These are generally 8th-graders and high schoolers. The Servers provide a direct service to the community by assisting at the regular Masses, as well as private functions, weddings, funerals, and school Masses. They receive the benefit of working directly with the priests and the Archbishop and learning more about the Mass and the Church. Contact: David Pope
