How to become an Altar Server

Any person who has made their First Holy Communion is eligible to become an Altar Server.  After a period of 12 months continual service, they are enrolled into the Guild of St Stephen. The enrolment takes place on St Stephen's Day (26th December) each year. After 10 years, they are eligible for a silver plated medal to acknowledge continual service.
​
There is no maximum age requirement.

Guild of Saint Stephen

Saint Stephen was chosen as the patron of Altar Servers because he was a dedicated servant in the early Church and gave his life for his belief in Christ.

The members of the Guild of Saint Stephen serve each Saturday and Sunday at Mass, and sometimes during the week.  
​
During their time of training, Altar servers learn to do all of the roles that are needed to ensure that the Mass is celebrated properly, and with reverence
