Our volunteers warmly welcome parishioners as they enter the Church for Mass.
The primary responsibility of the sacristan is to prepare for all sacred Eucharistic liturgies.
God of Glory, your beloved Son has shown us that true worship comes from humble and contrite hearts. Bless our brothers and sisters, who have responded to the needs of our parish and wish to commit themselves to your service as (Altar Servers, Sacristans, Musicians, and Usher/Greeters) Grant that their ministry may be fruitful and our worship pleasing in your sight. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.
St. Anthony Catholic Church is known for the magnificence and splendor of our traditional celebration of the Mass. The richness of these celebrations are punctuated by the well honed and fine tuned training of our corps of altar servers. Boys wishing to join this army of servers must have received their First Holy Communion and be at least seven years old.
Please contact Deacon Dave Odermann, dlosisr@gmail.com.
O God, You have graciously called me to serve You upon Your altar. Grant me the graces that I need to serve You faithfully and wholeheartedly. Grant too that while serving You, may I follow the example of Saint Tarcisius, who died protecting the Eucharist, and walk the same path that led him to Heaven.
Saint Tarcisius, pray for me and for all servers.
