If you or your child wants to take an active part in the liturgy of the parish as a server, please have a word with Deacon Vincent or the MC (Master of Ceremonies) of the Mass, who will be delighted to help you. Servers should have made their First Holy Communion and usually commit to some training before being able to assist at Mass.

Be filled with the Spirit as you sing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs among yourselves, singing and making melody to the Lord in your hearts, giving thanks to God the Father at all times and for everything in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ (From the letter of St Paul to the Ephesians 5:18-20).
