Promises of a Faithful Altar Server


 
I will be faithful to the performance of my ministry as a Server.
 
I will be reverent and respectful of God’s House and all that is in it.
 
I will participate by making the responses while serving Holy Mass and pray to the best of my ability.
 
I will handle the Chalice and other sacred items with care and reverence.
 
As a Server, I will be on time to serve Holy Mass and if I am unable to be present, I will provide a substitute.
 
In my performance as a Server, I will dress neatly and will always look presentable.
 
I will do my best to serve my parish with great concern.
 
I will try to be a good example to all wherever I am and whatever I am doing.
 
I will always keep in mind that God will help me do these things if I ask Him.
 
AMEN.
