What does an Altar Server do?
The primary role of the altar server is to assist the priest in the celebration of the liturgy. Servers carry the cross, the processional candle(s), hold the book for the priest celebrant when he is not at the altar, carry the incense and censer, present the bread, wine, and water to the priest during the preparation of the gifts or assist the priest celebrant and deacon as necessary.
Children are permitted to become altar servers once they have received their First Holy Communion.
