Other than walking in processions, ringing the Altar bell, and of course serving on the Altar, we Altar servers except of serving on the altar, and serving in other liturgical service, we also help the church in some small acts as, in whatever service we provide to others we look upon it as the service to God.
Over the past years, the Altar Servers Association has been participating in various competitions like, kopel making, drawing competition, Christmas decoration, and many more events like this. But, in every way possible most of these contests keeps our focus on Christ.
Altar serving is not only a service to the Priest on the Altar, but is rather a service to God himself who comes in the form of a Priest. Being on the Altar has been a great experience for everyone who has been an altar server, because after the priest, it is we altar servers who are on the Altar, closest to Christ.
Throughout centuries, you name any saint, it was most likely that most of the saints we know today were altar servers, not only taking example of the saints of the past, even also of the present Bl. Carlos Acutis too, was an altar server.
Altar serving is one act that can make your vocation grow stronger than before. Being an altar server makes you a joy filled person. Becoming an altar server is not only serving but is a call to serve Christ himself and, it is a call to God’s holiness.
