ALTAR SERVERS
Across our seven churches we are blessed to have the support of 60 Altar Servers and their families in assisting with our weekly and other liturgies. Their presence is truly welcome and we are so grateful as well to our Safeguarding Teams across our parishes who work tirelessly to ensure the highest standards of safeguarding.
At this time we are contacting our current servers parents to set out our new rotas and forms for the coming academic year and we are hoping to recruit new servers in the coming months. Thanks to them all for this important and rewarding ministry for all our servers.
