Altar Ministers Junior and Senior
Altar Ministers assist with the smooth flow of the liturgical rite, enhancing the spirit of worship and prayer. Altar Ministers enable the priest and the congregation to celebrate the Eucharist in a worthy manner.
Junior Altar Ministers are to be baptised Catholics seven years or older, male or female.
Senior Altar Ministers can be either female or male. Senior Altar Ministers can do everything an Acolyte can do when assisting at the Altar for Mass.
