Altar Servers
Their
responsibility is to help free the presider from various details
so he may give full attention to presiding. The various
tasks include: assisting with the book of prayers
(sacramentary), helping set the altar table with the bread and
wine, setting the plates and cups aside after communion.
After Mass, make sure they are clean, take care of the candles,
incense, and processional cross.
