Dear Fifth Graders of St. Denis Parish,
I take this opportunity to invite you to consider helping our parish in its Liturgical Celebrations as an Altar Server. Altar Serving is a vital element to the Liturgy being celebrated with respect, reverence and dignity. Being an altar server allows you the privilege of close proximity to God’s Altar where Jesus’ Body and Blood are shared with the people. This requires of you responsibility and a willingness to always be of help to the Priests and Deacons, and thus to the People of God here in St. Denis Parish.

I would ask that you consider my invitation carefully. Namely, that you look at all of the things you are involved with already (sports, dance lessons, etc.), and ask the mature question, with your parent’s help, can I do this and be committed to serving faithfully. Will I be able to serve when I am needed?

I am very happy to invite you to serve in our Parish. However, I need commitment and a willingness on your part to be available when needed. Please consider my invitation and respond to me by the returning the bottom of this letter no later than April 30th . It is our hope to begin training all fifth graders before the school year ends.

If you or your parents have any questions, please contact Donna Leonard at 610-446-0200. Thank you for your consideration of this invitation into service. May God, who loves us unconditionally, always bless you and protect you. I am,
Sincerely Yours in Christ,
Monsignor James J. Graham
Pastor

I am interested in being an Altar Server.
