About This Ministry

Altar serving is a ministry of presence and precision. Members assist with preparation before Mass, support acolytes and liturgical ministers where parishes permit, and ensure the sanctuary reflects the dignity of Catholic worship.

Commanderies coordinate with parish priests and liturgy committees so KSJI members serve humbly, punctually, and in harmony with diocesan liturgical norms.

During feast days, memorial masses, and Grand celebrations, altar teams work closely with the Grand Chaplain and local clergy to maintain order and devotion at the altar.

How We Serve

Before Mass

Arrive early, inspect readiness, and assist clergy as directed.

During Mass

Serve with attention, silence, and respect for the Eucharist.

After Mass

Restore the altar area and debrief with parish liturgy leads.

Our Focus

  • Preparation of altar and sacred vessels before Mass
  • Coordination with parish acolytes and liturgy teams
  • Support during feast days and memorial celebrations
  • Reverent conduct in sanctuary at all times

Parish schedules and officer contacts can be updated through AWGC Manage or the Grand Secretariat.
