Altar Service at Saint Catherine of Siena Church

One of the most important aspects of the Catholic education at St. Catherine of Siena Parish is the opportunity for parish ministry that accompanies learning about God's plan for each individual and the religious education taught in the parish. With awareness of their relationships with God growing through their academic achievements, students are encouraged at the fifth grade level to serve their parish by becoming altar servers. This parish ministry continues through high school, and students are present as part of the liturgy at daily morning masses as well as all the masses on Sundays. Students are trained by the parish clergy; they learn responsibility and appreciation for the parish, the clergy, and the parishioners whom they serve. They grow in their relationship with their God and with their fellow parishioners. The fact that the students continue to serve throughout their high school years shows their realization of the importance of parish ministry.
