Role of Altar Servers
Altar servers, often referred to as acolytes, play a crucial role in assisting the clergy during religious services.

Through their active involvement, altar servers create a seamless flow of rituals, fostering a deep sense of reverence and spirituality.
At Saint Joseph’s Polish Catholic Church, we recognize the invaluable contributions of our altar servers. They aid in the preparation of the altar, carrying sacred objects, and holding liturgical books. Additionally, servers may also assist in the distribution of Holy Communion and the purification of sacred vessels. Their presence serves as a visible reminder of the importance of service and devotion in our faith.
Training and Commitment
Our church acolytes undergo thorough training to ensure they are equipped with the knowledge and skills required for their important role. The training encompasses both practical and theoretical aspects, including the proper handling of liturgical items, understanding the sequence of events during worship, and familiarization with the order of the Mass.
