Register to be an Altar Server

Altar Servers assist the priest before, during, and after the Holy Qurbana. Currently there are about 50 Altar Servers, girls & boys together. There are two groups of servers, the senior group and junior group. The senior group is mostly made up of adults who assist the priest in reading various prayers during the Qurbana. The junior group consists of youth who assist the priest with the special rituals of the Qurbana. The junior group is presently coordinated by Prashant Kurian and Jacob Chacko.
