About Liturgical Ministries

Serving in a liturgical ministry is an excellent opportunity to fulfill your baptismal call of service to God and to one another. Whether your participation is through behind the scenes liturgical preparation or through a public role of service within the Mass, liturgical volunteers help our liturgies to be truly life-giving celebrations.

About Altar Servers

Youth of St. Jude parish are invited to become Altar Servers.  Altar Servers assist the priest and deacon during the Mass.  The experience of serving in a special way-that is serving god in the liturgy of the Word and Eucharistic that gives a unique perspective of the Gift that God has given us.  It is an opportunity that you as young people of St. Jude Parish can give and learn more about your faith, your church and our worship of god.  If you have received First Communion and are in the 4th grade or higher, and felt the call to serve in this wonderful ministry of Altar Server.

Server’s Prayer Before Mass:

Dear Jesus

As we celebrate your presence in this holy Mass, help me act in a way that gives you praise- with joyful solemnity and simple piety of heart. May this Mass assist your presence in me as your representative all this coming week.
