The altar servers, who are between the ages of 9 and 14, work with the Deacon or Father to ensure that the side table is set properly for the Eucharistic celebration.
They light the candles on the altar, assist Father by holding the Book, escorting the gift bearers to the altar before communion and then assist in the preparation of the Eucharist.
Cross bearers lead the processionals and recessionals by carrying the crucifix high enough for the entire parish to see.
During the Mass they sometimes sit in the first pew with the Eucharistic Ministers and Liturgical Readers.
