Altar Servers
Children in the fifth grade or higher can be trained as Altar Servers. Training and scheduling is provided by St. Kilian Parish volunteers. The primary role of the altar server is to assist the priest in the celebration of the liturgy during Mass.
Altar Servers carry the cross, the processional candle(s), hold the book for the priest celebrant when he is not at the altar, carry the incense and censer, present the bread, wine, and water to the priest or deacon during the preparation of the gifts, or assist him when he receives the gifts from the people, wash the hands of the priest, assist the priest celebrant and deacon as necessary.
