From outreach programs to spiritual growth opportunities, we are committed to providing support and guidance to all members of the parish.

Alter Servers

Altar servers are privileged and honoured to serve the priest at Our Lord’s Altar. Anyone from the parish can apply to become a server, male or female, providing they have the desire to assist the priest at Mass and other liturgies throughout the Church year, and have made their First Holy Communion.
