The medal that the Altar servers wear at Mass is the medal awarded by the Guild after each Altar Server qualifies. The bronze medal is for initial members, silver after 10 years and gold after 50 years.
Serving on the altar and mastering the details of the Liturgy provides a great satisfaction and above all it allows each server to be intimately involved in the great Sacrifice of the Mass
We organize events each year for the Altar Servers. For example, we go to a Christmas pantomime and have a Summer barbecue. We plan to have at least two trips a year to places of Religious and Historic interest whilst also allowing for social activity at the same time.
Girls and boys can become altar servers once they have made their First Communion, and we encourage adults to join us too.
