Altar Servers’ Ministry

The Altar Servers’ Ministry plays a vital role in the liturgical life of our communities. Children are trained by animators at each Mass centre under the guidance of the Priest in charge.Many altar servers generously undertake “double duty,” assisting both the Syro-Malabar and Latin Church liturgies. Their patron is St. John Berchmans and their model is St. Dominic Savio. Savio Fest, celebrated annually on the first or second Saturday of May, is one of their most important gatherings. In 2019, the Apostolic Visitator participated in one such celebration.Besides regular spiritual training, annual picnics, pilgrimages, and sports activities are organized to foster fellowship and discipline. Children assist the Holy Qurbana in Malayalam, transliteration, and European languages according to their ability. A common Guide Book for all Altar Servers is currently under preparation.
