the Liturgy and Serving Christ work and be involved. It is more hands-on than when you just sit there.” Max became an altar server after several years of watching his brother serve. “I like serving because I pay attention and learn more when I do,” he says. “My favorite part is setting up the altar for Communion.” It may seem a little intimidating to become an altar server — there are many things to remember and being
up on the altar means that you are in front of the entire congregation. Despite this, Simon encourages others to become altar servers. “They train you and then you serve alongside other altar servers who have been doing it for a while,” Simon says. “You learn as you go.” “If you feel like Mass goes slow, I would try it,” Max adds. “It is hands-on and it is also fun to get to know the priests and just be involved at the church.”
