Altar Servers are the primary ministers who assist the clergy during the Mass and other important liturgies.  While Altar Servers (or Servers, for short) are often seen holding books, retrieving objects, and handling sacred vessels / objects, their ministry is greater than just these tasks.  Through their posture, their attitude, and their participation in the Mass, Altar Servers provide both an example of reverence as well as practical prompts for the participation for the congregation.
