Welcome to the Altar Serving Ministry at St Agatha’s Parish

Altar Serving is such an important Ministry at St Agatha’s Catholic Church. Altar Servers assist the Priests. The Parish Community see Altar Servers as role models by the level of reverence they show at Church. It is such a humble and reverend way of contributing to the Mass.

Training Sessions will be conducted in May & October 2021. If you are 9 years or older and are interested in becoming an Altar Server or would like more information please email a.r.kennaugh@gmail.com

Thank you for all your ongoing support to the Altar Serving Ministry of St Agatha’s Parish

Best Wishes,
Andrew
(Altar Serving Ministry Co-ordinator)
