If you or your child wants to take an active part in the liturgy of the parish as a server, please have a word with Deacon Vincent or the MC (Master of Ceremonies) of the Mass, who will be delighted to help you. Servers should have made their First Holy Communion and usually commit to some training before being able to assist at Mass.
